Festive rooftop adventure at the Summit with guided tours of London's skyline on selected Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Christmas at Summit runs from 13 November to 6 December at Alexandra Palace, with sessions on selected Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's a rooftop experience at the Summit, 130 metres above sea level, where the main draw is the view across the London skyline. Tours run as daytime, sunset or night-time sessions, so you can pick the light that suits you best.
If you're not familiar with the place, Alexandra Palace—or 'Ally Pally' as most of us call it—is run by a charity for the benefit of everyone, and they run creative learning alongside their award-winning park. The festive season brings a fair bit more to the Palace than just the rooftop: there are carol performances by local choirs, a festive murder mystery with Sherlock Holmes in the historic Theatre, Santa's Grotto, an ice rink, the panto Cinderella on ice, and the World Darts Championships. If you're heading up for the Summit, it's easy to build a full day or evening around it.
