After Dark

If you’re looking for an antidote to London’s traditional Christmas lights, head to Chiswick House and Gardens where designer Nick Gray is messing with the rule book. This new celebration of illumination is scrapping baubles and Santa in favour of a super slick light display responding to the 18th-century grounds. Look out for food trucks and pop-up watering holes where you'll be able to warm your cockles after the 45-minute trail. Enter at Duke’s Avenue Gate.
