Christmas Markets in London 伦敦的圣诞集市

There will be a huge Christmas Market in Hyde Park, too. It’s open from 22nd November all the way to 4th Jauary 2009, 10 am till 10 pm each? day, and it’s modelled on the traditional German markets.? Refreshments will include bratwurst and a hog roast as well as gingerbread and mulled wine, and there will be choirs singing Christmas carols.

The Southbank Centre will have the Cologne Market,? with authentic wooden and tin toys, Christmas decorations, and Santa’s Secret Village. It’s open from 21st November to 23rd December, 10am till 10 pm.

Carry on along the South Bank to find the Bankside Winter Festival? -based on the famous Frost Fair which used to take place when the Thames froze over every winter.? Saturday 13th December will feature a procession of boats carrying the Frost Fair flags down the River Thames - after which the liverymen will be parading through the market in their traditional uniforms. That should be fun. The fair will be open from 12th to 21st December.

Being a foodie though I’ll probably head further along the south bank for the Christmas market at Borough Market,? with special expanded opening hours! Christmas carols are also promised.

伦敦的圣诞集市

圣诞节集市是德国以及欧洲中部的的传统。在那里你会发现圣诞节商品琳琅满目——姜饼、温酒、圣诞蛋糕、圣诞装饰品。例如，纽伦堡有一个很大的圣诞集市。

格林威治是一个从12月10号开始热闹起来的特殊圣诞集市。那有适宜成人及儿童引用的温酒。从20号到23号，圣诞老人会待在他的“仙洞”里，一个“仙洞”的价格是3镑。

伦敦海德公园也有一个很大的圣诞集市。它从11月22日到2009年1月4号每天早上10点到晚上10点开放。它是仿照德国传统的圣诞集市操作的。那里的点心有腊肠、热腾腾的烤肉、圣诞蛋糕及温酒。那里还有圣诞乐队演奏了圣诞颂歌。

南岸的中心有一个科隆超市，有精美的木制品及锡制玩具、圣诞装饰品、圣诞老人的神秘村庄。它从11月21日到12月23日每天早上10点到晚上10点开放。

忙于在南岸寻找冬季盛典的河岸风光——著名的隆冬盛大集市。当每年冬天的泰晤士河水开始结冰之后，这样的盛大集市就开始了。12月13号那天正好是星期六，那时泰晤士河面上一系列的船只载着隆冬盛展大旗在河面上并称一排。——在此之后，一些身穿制服的人会在集市中列队前进。那样会很有趣。集市将在12月12号到21号开放。

作为一个美食家，我还是想在伯乐市场特别营业时段到沿着南岸直走到达伯乐市场去看那里的集市。
