London or Blackpool for Christmas break?

So we live around Plymouth and we are thinking of a Christmas break. Both Blackpool and London are almost the same distance by car from here.
What’s the best place to chose between the two? I’m figuring Blackpool will have good Christmas lights and the tower and London will have lights too. Can’t decide……any ideas? Will be stopping 2 nights.

Blackpool will have the Illuminations.

Id personally choose london
Definitely recommend London. There are festive lights on oxford street and regents street and the shops also have good window displays. It really has a good festive vibe.

Enjoy whichever you choose. 😃
