For Australian travellers, there has never been a better time to visit London. With accommodation, shopping and dining now more affordable than ever, British Airways is offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the sights and sounds of the city this festive season for less!

A trip on the London Eye, a visit to the Tower of London, Lunch at Gastro Pub and Tea at Fortnum & Mason are just some of the most sought after products and experiences on the Australian travellers’ itinerary. But for inbound passengers from Australia this Christmas, British Airways has made these offers approximately 23 per cent even more affordable with exclusive discounts at these and others of the UK’s best-loved retailers.

“Now is the best time to visit London, as the city is transformed into a truly magical place, with streets adorned with colourful lights and decorations. Christmas shopping at Harrods or Selfridges, a new winter coat from Paul Smith or Burberry, dinner at the Ivy, one of London’s most iconic restaurants; all now offer better value to international customers than ever. Don’t delay, take advantage of our fantastic pre-Christmas fares and enjoy a taste of luxury in one of the most exciting cities in the world,” said Nicole Backo, British Airways’ regional general manager, South West Pacific.

The London winter season has much to offer Australian travellers with an array interesting and incredible events occurring throughout the city.

Make your way along the one, mile sparkling path, as coloured laser beams dance over water, alongside illuminated fountains and glowing waterside reflections, or whilst accompanied by the sweet aromas of the scented Fire Garden. Open until 2 January 2017.
