Swedish x-mas in London
For you Swedes in London that aren't going back home and would like to watch Donald Ducks x-mas on tv (a very traditional thing for Swedes), then the Swedish pub Harcourt Arms (32 Harcourt Street, closest tube: Edgware Road) will be showing whilst serving mulled wine and Swedish food on Christmas eve (24/12). They're open 12:00 - 17:00.
They will also be celebrating Lucia with a Swedish choir singing the traditional beautiful songs and dressed up in the traditional outfits on Thursday 16th December at 19:15 and 21:00. They will be performing in the heated beergarden and it's only £5/person which all goes to the choir.
