St. Pancras International: Free things to do in London this Christmas

Every Christmas, St. Pancras International turns into a hub of festive
fun, and 2024 is no exception. This year, the centrepiece is the iconic Wicked Christmas Tree, accompanied by
weekly Wicked Wednesday performances
on the Andrew Lloyd Webber Piano.  

Visitors can also enjoy the magic of Santa and his elves roaming the
station and, for one-day only, join Santa himself in a joyous singalong!  

Wicked Wednesdays

Join us in front of the Wicked Christmas Tree at St. Pancras
International every Wednesday evening, where our pianist will take centre stage
on the station's iconic piano, performing a selection of tracks from the Wicked film score.  Songs will include
The Wizard and I, Dancing Through Life, Popular, and of course, Defying
Gravity. The performances will be completely free to attend, and you
