The top places to visit over the Christmas period…

We are counting down the days left for the Christmas break to begin… hopefully we are all starting to relax, and enjoy this festive period. Our social elves at EBM have put together a list of places to go with friends and family whilst you’re in the capital London.

The Nordic Bar
Want somewhere different to go this December? Why not Christmas like the Vikings at the home of all things Scandinavian! Whether it’s a Christmas reunion or casual drinks you are planning, Nordic Bar is a great option. We’d recommend the ScandinaviGIN, a great way of tasting gin of Scandinavia. On your way through to Sweden over to Norway, stopping at Finland and Denmark on the way, no need for airports or luggage! Maybe just have a snack before, during or after (Nordic also have a mouth-watering menu fit for Vikings).
