Nope. It was wide open for Christmas Day. Source: Being in UK.

  Not for much of the country, including London. Source: living in (what was at the time) a tier 4 area The issue is the new strain, clearly. Cases were growing even during the November lockdown.

    Growing in the southeast from memory but the rest of the country saw pretty strong decreases I think. Wasn’t Kent the first place things started to really kick off and take a turn in mid Nov?

      yep, I literally got married on the 18th and tier 4 was brought in on the 19th. Much of the rest of the country was in tier 3 and the xmas days were rolled back from 5 to 1 with only xmas day itself permitted, only in lower tier areas and with more restrictions. Little weird to be getting to -1 downvotes for something that's a google away... London and the SE is where the new highly infectious strain originated from and was more or less entirely locked down. Big chunk of population here too...

  In tier 4 areas, which included London[1], no mixing was allowed over the Christmas period, including Christmas day. Source: Being in London during Christmas. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55380644 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55380644

  No it wasn't. I live in London. Also from the article: "London saw wild scenes of a weekend mass exodus before the start of a Christmas lockdown and travel ban sparked by a new, more infectious mutation of COVID-19."

  You must live in a different London than the rest of us then.
