IN TOWN
CAROL CONCERTS
THROUGHOUT DECEMBER
From the Asthma UK carol service at St Luke’s on Sydney Street (3 December) to the Army Benevolent Fund’s service in the Chapel of the Royal Hospital Chelsea (10th), the festive sing along at the Royal Albert Hall (21st-24th) or carols by candlelight at St John’s Smith Square (10th), a proper London carol concert, where readers can spot stars of stage and screen, and superb music, is a festive must. Pick your charity, your church and book tickets in advance, the most popular sell out swiftly. The Supporting Wounded Veterans carol concert at St Columba’s on Pont Street (3rd) even comes with free entry to Loulou’s at 5 Hertford Street afterwards, by kind invitation of Robin Birley.

OLYMPIA HORSE SHOW
