Of course, the main reason we came to London was to enjoy all the Christmas lights, the Christmas decorations and really get the Christmas feels; and we were not disappointed.
We walked all over, and saw all the famous lights, here in Covent Garden. A display with 40 giant bells with red bows, 12 giant baubles and 8 massive mirror balls:
Fortnum and Mason's advent calendar facade:
We saw it both in daylight and in the evening:
The famous angels of Regent Street, the 'Spirit of Christmas', where the Christmas Lights tradition in London started off back in 1954.
The Norwegian Christmas tree at Trafalgar Square:
Norway has gifted London a Christmas tree every year since 1947, a tradition that has been happening as a thank you for the UK support in WW2.
A nice chap outside The Ivy:
Snow falling (!) in front of the Savoy:
In Carnaby this year they had opted for a galactic display, with neon lights and colour waves in an almost psychedelic fashion:
The Liberty shop:
In front of the Cartier London flagship store on Bond Street:
Bond Street is the luxury shopping district, and it showed with a royalty-inspired display with huge lit up Christmas crowns:
All the luxury brands take their decorations very seriously, they had absolutely dazzling Christmas displays:
We sure weren't the only ones visiting London, on a weekend in December. Especially on the Saturday evening we almost had to fight our way through the streets, or give up and just follow the flow.
But, it was certainly worth it! It was all so very very pretty!
Even the London Eye was shining in an array of festive colours:
