Christmas film locations you can visit with us across the UK

It is that time of year again when people rewatch their favourite Christmas films, consume heroic quantities of mince pies and ask themselves whether travelling anywhere in December is a good idea. We are pleased to report that with us, it absolutely is.

This year, you can visit real Christmas film locations without stress, without drama and without needing to re-enact any scenes involving transport meltdowns. Below are four festive favourites you can explore with the help of our services.

🎬 1. Love Actually in London

London is the beating heart of Love Actually. Heathrow reunions, South Bank strolls and scenes that prove Hugh Grant can dance in a way that only he can get away with.

Why visit:

• Iconic landmarks
  
  
• Festive lights
  
  
• The annual opportunity to say “I feel it in my fingers” at least once
  

How we get you there:

Settle into your seat, relax and glide into London feeling far more composed than any character in the film.

🎬 2. The Holiday in Shere, Surrey

Shere is the impossibly pretty village featured in The Holiday. Think cosy pubs, picture-perfect cottages and scenery that encourages you to speak in your best Hollywood version of a British accent.

Why visit:

• Cottages straight out of a Christmas card
  
  
• Peaceful trails
  
  
• Quiet charm that requires no studio lighting
  

How we get you there:
We will take you to Guildford, leaving you a short onward journey to Shere. No need to borrow Jude Law’s car or question how anyone swaps houses with strangers so casually.

🎬 3. Nativity in Coventry

Coventry provided the backdrop for Nativity. A place filled with festive charm, a spectacular cathedral and the comforting knowledge that your own Christmas plans are probably calmer than a school play run by Mr Maddens.

Why visit:

• Cathedral history
  
  
• Welcoming streets
  
  
• A sense of festive nostalgia
  

How we get you there:
Arrive in Coventry relaxed and ready to explore without attempting to manage a cast of excitable children yourself.

🎬 4. Last Christmas in Covent Garden, London

Covent Garden sparkles throughout Last Christmas. Its famous decorations and markets create a perfect backdrop for getting into the festive spirit.

Why visit:

• Twinkling light displays
  
  
• Independent shops and stalls
  
  
• The irresistible urge to hum Wham
  

How we get you there:
We take you straight into London so you can enjoy everything Covent Garden offers without navigating the capital’s traffic on your own.

⭐ Honourable mention

Harry Potter and the magic of Edinburgh

While not strictly a Christmas film series, Harry Potter has become essential festive viewing. Edinburgh is widely celebrated as an inspiration behind J K Rowling’s writing. You can wander atmospheric streets, visit cosy cafes and soak up the enchanting winter atmosphere that feels almost wizarding in spirit.

Why visit:

• Iconic Edinburgh Old Town locations
  
  
• Atmospheric streets that feel straight out of a story
  
  
• The perfect setting for a winter trip with a touch of magic
  

How we help:
We can take you north to Edinburgh where you can explore the city and decide which part feels the most like Hogwarts.
