The Threads of Christmastime

One Aldwych
London, England

Make One Aldwych part of your story this festive season

Some stories are written, others spoken, but the stuff of legend is sewn into history. As the Battle of Hastings marks its 960th anniversary, the Bayeux Tapestry has arrived at the British Museum, just a short stroll from One Aldwych. This Christmas, we’re celebrating the makers of the world with a festive stay that weaves a little history and seasonal sparkle into your weekend.

Take your pick from our festive programme

- Join travel journalist Sophie Campbell each Saturday morning on a guided walk inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry. Author, journalist and registered London guide, she brings history gloriously alive, uncovering the characters, quirks and stories hiding in plain sight. Afterwards, warm up with mulled wine and mince pies.

- For those inspired by the talent behind the tapestry, we have teamed up with the Royal School of Needlework, to bring festive embroidery masterclasses to the hotel. Open to guests staying with us on select Sundays, the sessions offer the chance to discover the joy of making, guided by embroiderers who work for fashion houses and royalty alike.
