Merry Christmas! Finding a truly "alt" bar open on Christmas Day in London is a monumental task, let's be honest. Forget the alternative scene for tonight; it's basically non-existent. Your best bet is to wander around Covent Garden – it's usually bustling, even on Christmas, and while it's not exactly underground, you might stumble upon something unexpectedly cool. Maybe a late-night crêpe stand with a fun crowd, or a pub with a surprisingly good atmosphere. Think of it as a Christmas adventure – embrace the unexpected. A quiet Christmas in London has its own unique charm. Don't sweat it; Christmas Day isn't the day to chase a specific vibe. Enjoy your Christmas, and happy hunting!
