We’ve rounded up 25 ways to do the season your way: live jazz in dimly lit bars, carols spilling onto Columbia Road, vintage markets, late-night dancing, heated lido swims, tiny pastries, big plates, quiet moments, loud nights — the lot.

Christmas in East London doesn’t follow the rulebook — and thank goodness. It’s messy, loud, low-key, sparkly, a bit weird, and totally wonderful. Whether you’re all-in on the tinsel or just looking for small pockets of joy to break up the winter slog, this issue is for you.
Think of it as your festive cheat sheet. Dip in, pick a few, ignore the rest, repeat. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, avoiding it entirely, or just here for the snacks and the vibes, there’s something in these pages with your name on it.
