Things to Do in North London at Christmas

Nothing says Christmas quite like the sound of skates on ice. The Brent Cross Ice Rink is back, bringing frosty fun for the whole family. Whether you are a natural glider or a first-timer finding your balance, it is the perfect mix of sparkle, laughter and winter chill.

From sparkle to scent, Brent Cross has the kind of Christmas shopping that makes gift-hunting feel easy and a little bit luxurious.

Step inside Fenwick and John Lewis for beautiful finds across fashion, home and beauty, or browse the latest collections from Mango and Anthropologie for timeless style that suits everyone on your list.

Looking for something that glitters? Goldsmiths, Pandora and Swarovski bring the shine with pieces that make a statement long after Christmas Day.

If it is all about the finishing touches, Rituals, Space NK and The Body Shop offer indulgent treats that fit perfectly under the tree, while Apple and Miele bring the wow factor for anyone who loves sleek gadgets and smart design.

However you shop it, Brent Cross is your one-stop spot for thoughtful gifts, festive wrapping and a little extra inspiration when you need it most.

Fuel your shopping spree or plan a proper festive meet-up.

Stop by District, Wagamama, Nando’s, GDK, or PizzaExpress for a quick bite, or make it a longer lunch at SushiDog or Shake Shack. For sweet treats, try Lola’s Cupcakes, Heriots, Bakers + Baristas or Krispy Kreme.

Whether it is coffee and cake or cocktails and catch-ups, Brent Cross has something delicious waiting.

Free parking and late-night shopping make Christmas at Brent Cross simple and stress-free. New stores like Sephora, Card Factory and Hollister will be joining your favourites, adding even more reasons to visit.

And when the big day is done, the celebrations continue with Boxing Day sales across the centre, the perfect excuse for a bit of self-gifting.
