Shoreditch hotel nhow London is offering guests free Brompton bike hire* to explore the Christmas delights of local attractions including Hackney, Spitalfields and nearby Columbia Road Flower Market.

Guests can use the foldaway bikes for easy travel across the capital, with a wide range of eye-catching Christmas markets and events in East London in easy reach. They include:

Yokimono Japanese Christmas Market - This unique market takes place from December 6 to 8 at The Factory Dalston, a hub of creativity in Hackney. With Yokimono meaning 'good things' in Japanese, this market is filled with traditional and contemporary Japanese art and crafts, food and culture and authentic Christmas gifts. There will also be live performances from Japanese artists and demonstrations such as tea ceremonies and bonsai making.  

Christmas at Old Spitalfields Market - The historic market transforms every year into a winter wonderland with twinkling lights, seasonal stalls offering unique gifts and a bustling atmosphere. This year, the market will host The Greenhouse Theatre, the UK's first zero-waste theatre, and a Christmas show called The Lost Library of Spitalfields, playing twice daily until December 24.

Christmas Wednesdays on Columbia Road - The vibrant and beloved Columbia Road Flower Market has a charming tradition of late-night Christmas shopping on Wednesdays. From November 27 to December 18, stalls and local shops will open from 5 to 9 p.m.

Winter by the River - Until January 5, this festival transforms the Thames riverside into a festive winter wonderland bustling with market stalls selling artisanal crafts, unique gifts and seasonal treats. New for 2024 is the Swift Stone curling experience at London Bridge City Pier.

Rooms Through Time, Winter Past - For guests looking for a unique Christmas experience beyond the markets, The Museum of The Home in Hoxton is hosting its annual Rooms Through Time Winter Past exhibition, which showcases how Christmas celebrations have evolved in London over the last 400 years across different periods and communities.

nhow London is known for its London Reloaded design style and has been beautifully decorated with funky Christmas decorations adorning its cool features, such as the Big Ben rocket in the lobby and Notting Hill-style room doors.
