A family city guide to London

Edinburgh is like a scene from a storybook, its spiky turrets, soaring towers, grand squares and cobbled streets every inch the sort of places dragons and princesses would inhabit — not to mention, of course, one particularly famous boy wizard. The city was J K Rowling’s home while she wrote most of the Harry Potter books, and it’s not hard to see the spark of inspiration for her world of magic. Kids’ imaginations have been known to run away with them as they wander the higgledy-piggledy medieval streets of the Old Town up to Edinburgh Castle or march through regal Holyrood Park to the extinct volcano hilltop of Arthur’s Seat, which towers above elegant Georgian streets in the east of the city centre.

One of the best ways to get to know a country is through its food and beverage offerings. For the holiday season, check out these excellent wines from under-the-radar wine regions in different parts of the world (which we should be drinking more from!) for your wanderlust wine-loving friends who are eager to try something new.

Direct train service from Amsterdam to London on the Eurostar, the sleek, fast train that connects Britain to northwestern Europe, will be suspended for six months next year, the train company said.

Nowhere in London has a more refined glow at Christmas than Mayfair. Between Piccadilly and Oxford Street and still largely owned by Grosvenor Estate which belongs to the Duke of Westminster, it was largely rural - and used as pasturelands - until the late 17th century. Today, its streets and squares are home to some of the city’s oldest, and most famous hotels and shops.

When is walking in circles a good thing? When following a trail through villages, forests and fields using open-access paths that begin and end at the same train station.
