Yes, we know October has only just begun, but sooner or later the mince pies will start appearing on the shelves and before you know it London will be in full festive mode. It's only 12 weeks until Christmas, after all. For those who love getting immersed in all the city has to offer at Christmas time, there's loads of markets to get you excited (and stocked with presents) for December 25. And no, we're not just talking about Winter Wonderland.

The Triumph of Art, a massive street party in Trafalgar Square on July 26, celebrates the National Gallery's 200th birthday with banners, brass bands, inflatables, and performances.
