Things to do in London this Christmas!

This year we know things have been a little different, but we are not letting this dampen our Christmas spirit! With many people not being able to see or spend time with their loved ones, plenty of changes in plans and lots of time stuck inside we understand more than ever the importance of Christmas. Although some experiences have been altered or cancelled this year there are still plenty of options available in London, here are just a few we would recommend checking out during your stay with us;

International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month

At Georgian House we place significant importance on developing individuals and providing equal opportunities regardless of gender,ethnicity or background and championing women plays a significant role in this. Partner at Georgian House and female trailblazer Serena von der Heyde has always been passionate about celebrating women’s successes, highlighting the issues women are still facing in industry and looking at ways we can create a pipeline of talent to enable more women to progress their careers at leadership level within hospitality. For us at Georgian House championing women begins by providing a diverse and empowering work environment with equal opportunities and development plans  in place to allow all team members to progress at Georgian House and beyond. 

 

Flexible working hours We understand the importance of being able to manage working hours and that this can be particularly difficult for working and single parents to manage. We always look to provide flexibility with working hours allowing team members to balance their work commitments and home life.
