You better watch out because Santa Claus is coming to Havering - and there are lots of chances to meet him.
Christmas is just more than a month away, but Santa is busy preparing to visit a whole host of shopping centre grottos, pubs and even a Harvester.
Whether your little ones want to have a fry-up with Santa, or your furry friends want to come along to the grotto, there is something for everyone this Christmas.
Where to meet Santa in Havering for Christmas 2024
Santa's grottos in Havering
Santa has already opened his "magical Igloo grotto" on Level 1 of The Mercury shopping centre in Romford.
With prices starting from £5, this grotto will be open every day until Christmas Eve - from 10am until 5pm between Monday and Saturday, and from 11am until 4pm on Sundays - with no booking needed.
The Mercury's grotto even welcomes pets to have their photos taken with Santa on Wednesdays, until December 13.
Santa's grotto returns to Romford Shopping Hall on November 30, with visits including a chance for children to give Santa their letters, "unlimited" photo opportunities and a "fabulous" present from the big man himself.
Tickets are £14.25 and can be bought on Eventbrite.
Santa is also already visiting The Liberty shopping centre in Romford as part of its Elf Village, and children can meet him and his elves until December 24.
Tickets are £5 per child, plus an online booking fee, with all proceeds going to Saint Francis Hospice.
Havering Christmas Land, in Harrow Lodge Park, will again feature a Santa's grotto, with tickets priced at £7 per child.
The event will be returning to Hornchurch on November 27 and then will run almost every evening until January 1, with entry slots from 4.30pm until 7.50pm.
Grotto slots can be booked on Havering Mind's website, and all funds raised will support Mind in Havering and Barking and Dagenham.
Breakfast with Santa in Havering
The Crumpled Horn in Upminster is holding a breakfast with Santa again this year, with the big man booked for four dates: December 14, 15, 21 and 22.
This experience will feature a cooked breakfast with crafts and games, a goodie bag and a story from Santa, and even a live feed to the North Pole on their TV.
Tickets can be booked via The Crumpled Horn's Facebook event page - and adults don't have to miss out, with their tickets including a large cooked breakfast, hot drink and treat from Santa.
The Golden Lion in Romford is also running two breakfast with Santa dates on December 14 and 21.
As well as breakfast and a visit from Santa, this will include a chocolate gift and craft time with Santa's helpers.
Tickets are priced at £10 per child and can be booked on The Golden Lion's website.
Harvester in Gidea Park will be hosting its own version of breakfast with Santa, complete with a chocolate treat, activity sheet and festive goodies.
This starts at £9.99 per child, and will be running every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas.
Tickets can be booked on the Harvester website.
