Things to do in London on 25 December – Pretty much everything is closed on Christmas Day – even the buses and trains don’t run – so this is the only day of the year when you can have the deserted streets to yourself. If you want to photograph all the landmarks whilst there’s nobody around to spoil your shot then now’s your chance!
