Not too long ago in a time before Rubik’s Cubes, the Internet and bendy buses, London held an annual Christmas Games which were open to all denizens of the fair city. The games would be a raucous time with streets filled with worthy Londoners pitting their wits against each other in an effort to be crowned The Londoner Games Champion in their chosen discipline.

To celebrate all things Christmas in London we have created a commemorative collect of 6 Christmas cards based on tradition sports that made up ‘The Londoner Christmas Games’ – a yearly sporting extravganza that enthralled the City in the Christmas period.
Each packs contains six individually illustrated Christmas cards depicting a different traditional sport played by Londoners and on the back an interesting bit of London trivia. They come in two different colour schemes and are printed onto 350gsm 100% recycled card.
