As a reminder to travellers, there are no public transport services on Christmas Day, ie no buses, underground, overground rail, riverboats etc. Minicabs will working but you’ll probably need to book them in advance, and you might be lucky enough to come across a black cab whose driver wants to take a break from the family!
