As the Christmas song goes, he sees you when you are sleeping and knows when you are awake.

But now children have the chance to meet Father Christmas when he makes his arrival to Squire's, Twickenham, on November 22.

After arriving on a Routemaster bus instead of his traditional sleigh, Santa will enter his grotto and you can join him free of charge.

However, if you do choose to pay for the privilege, all donations will be given to the Horatio's Garden charity.

Santa will be in his grotto from 10.30am to 4pm on Saturdays and 10.30am to 3.30pm on Sundays.

He will also be in his grotto from 10.30am to 5pm on December 22 and 23, and from 10.30am to 2pm on Christmas Eve.
