Christmas Carols (anywhere in ED)

[Becs]

As December is fast approaching (ahh!) I was just wondering whether anyone could recommend anywhere in ED that has a good carol service on leading up to Christmas. Many thanks.

this time last year there was

this thread

which is obviously out of date but might provide a few pointers

I'll be putting up a notice in 'What's On' in a few days but here's a cheeky push for my choir's Christmas Concert at Southwark Cathedral* on 15th December, followed by wine and mince pies. PM me for more details, or watch out for the notice.

*OK, not in ED but not so far away...

St John's, Goose Green, Sunday 21st December - traditional Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at 6pm is your best bet. Otherwise 11pm on Christmas Eve before Midnight Mass.

You might wish to make a note of the Children?s Nativity Pageant on Sunday 21st December at 11.30am and the very popular Children?s Christingle Service at 4pm on Christmas Eve. Midnight Mass begins at 11.30pm. Christmas Morning Family Service at 10am.

Other services at St John's over Christmas will be on the St John's website ? www.stjohnseastdulwich.org

St John's is very nice. Horniman sounds fantastic fun too.

If you want to stretch a little further a field with the whole Christmas Spirit (and I apologise for diverting away from ED) but St. John's, Smith Square has a wide range of concerts over the Christmas period with a good selection of carol concerts with audience participation.

All Saints Peckham (the big church next to Peckham Rye station) always has a great one by candlelight. Theirs is on 14th December this year, according to their website, and it's always got good mince pies and lots of mulled wine. Which is nice.
