Problem
Where is it and what will it cost?

Answer
Presumbly looking is free? Winter Wonderland - entry is free, so says a full page ad in London's Evening Standard.

The Evening Standard, is also free, from most London underground railway stations. So are Metro newspaper. Some stations have containers for collecting City A.M. free newspaper.

Maybe there will be background music.

Who's Sooty?
Sooty is a gove puppet created by Hary Corbett. I used to see Sooty on TV when I was a child. See the article in Wikipedia. You can buy a Sooty xylophone.
