You may not see any reindeer pulling sleighs this Christmas, but the London Wetland Centre has some handsome huskies ready and waiting to take younger children (aged eight and under) for a spin. The dogs are also available for photo opportunities, but if it's not festive enough until you've seen the man himself then head to the northern pine forest to meet Santa in his cosy grotto (£5 per child inc goody bag, cash only).
