    Somerset House is a stunning cultural hub in London, offering a mix of history, art, and architecture. The building itself is beautiful, with its grand courtyard that often hosts outdoor events, exhibitions, and ice skating in the winter. The art galleries and creative spaces inside always feature interesting and unique exhibitions, making it a must-see for art lovers. The riverside location adds to its charm, providing a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the views. Whether you're attending an event or just exploring, Somerset House is a truly special place to visit in London.

    We went to Somerset House last Christmas for a friend hangout, and honestly, it was such a good time! The whole place was decked out for the holidays – super festive! We tried some wine, hit the ice rink, just the perfect holiday vibe. If you’re planning to go around Christmas, here’s a few quick tips: definitely book your skating spot early since it fills up fast, and check out the Christmas Arcade for unique gifts (great for last-minute stuff). Oh, and grab a mulled wine by the rink – nothing better after a skate session. And don’t miss the huge Christmas tree for some pics! Honestly, Somerset House at Christmas is just a vibe – skating, drinks, holiday shopping, all in one spot. Perfect place to soak up the Christmas spirit!
