Christmas 2025

As winter settles in, that familiar urge to cue your winter playlists and bundle up in your favourite winter fashion returns. And London, shimmering with festive promise, becomes the perfect backdrop. Adding to the season’s enchantment, Jo Malone London makes its return to The Grove Hotel. Following last year’s much-loved debut, the brand will once again take up a glittering residency, from 21 November 2025 to 5 January 2026. This season, The Grove’s historic Mansion will be transformed into a whimsical world of scented delight. A playful, perfumed playground inspired by the holiday campaign theme: Fun & Games. A festive adventure awaits.

Afternoon Tea London

In a season of layers, there’s nothing more tempting than grabbing a hot tea at your local coffee shop with friends, but why not do it in style? One of the season’s most alluring invitations is The Grove’s Inspired Afternoon Tea, returning with a mischievous, aromatic twist. Imagine taking refuge from the winter chill as you savour the taste of buttery puff pastry with pear fillings and a floral petal mousse. Echoing the elegance of Jo Malone London’s English Pear & Freesia. Alongside it, classic scones and savoury delights complete a perfect teatime tradition, exactly the sort of indulgence many of us seek during the festive flurry.

Christmas Gift Ideas

For the seekers of perfect presents for him or her, yes, the ones who wander through shop floors in pursuit of that single, exquisite gift. The Grove’s Martini Lounge will transform into a dedicated Jo Malone London festive retail space. With the brand’s signature gift wrapping taking centre stage. Whether you’re hunting for a thoughtful stocking filler or a showpiece under the tree, the experience elevates gifting into an art form.

Christmas 2025 Holidays

Or perhaps this Christmas, you would rather take a trip down memory lane in London? Edward Vince’s “Last Resort” exhibition imagines a future place where people can visit to see what our world used to be like. It feels a bit like a theme park made from leftover materials, memories, sounds and smells. An exhibition causing us to ask pressing questions, such as: Are we helping cause our own problems? Are we just watching things fall apart? Can we make a change? Or are we just trying to have a good time? Answer all of these thought-provoking questions from 20th November – 17 December at the Completedworks showroom. Wander through the ‘Future World’ spaces, grab the souvenirs for a loved one. Most importantly, focus on the old materials, used to create new stories.
