If you want to avoid the crowds of Christmas shoppers this winter, this charming West London market might just be one for you. Chelsea Physic Garden's annual Christmas Fair is back and this year's event promises to be more enchanting than ever.

Hidden inside the city's oldest botanical garden, visitors can take in more than 100 stalls selling everything from unique homeware to handmade accessories. Highlights include small batch candles from the Spitalfields Candle Company, beautiful jacquard scarves from Cotswold Knit, and silk clothing from designer Carole Waller.

There will also be a range of winter plants on offer, as well as one of a kind wreaths and table decorations made by the Physic Garden’s Growing Friends collective. Foodies are also in luck as they can pick up mouth-watering Chinese sauces, Italian olive oil, Sussex-made chocolate and food hampers from Partridges.
