When the shops are closed, tubes and buses aren't running, and no one can agree what to watch on TV, it's time to turn to the internet for seasonal entertainment.* With a tube strike promised for Boxing Day, a transport-based selection of ideas seems apt!
- Test your knowledge. London Reconnections' annual Christmas Quiz is back, with appropriately transport-themed prizes including books and a set of Herrenknecht TBM Cutting Head fridge magnets. Be warned, it's not easy!
- Enjoy some seasonal nostalgia. Turnip Rail has fascinating accounts of Christmas on the railways, here and here. Oh, for the days of trains running on Christmas Day...
- Listen to Londonist Out Loud's day with London Air Ambulance.
- Plan an outing to walk off the festive fare with the Ramblers Association Festival of Winter Walks. IanVisits has produced a handy crib sheet for London.
* Although, should you prefer to get some fresh air on Christmas day, Londonist has an invaluable guide to what's open.
