It’s almost becoming a yearly tradition; traveling to London for a weekend in December to soak in the Christmas atmosphere. After all no place in the world does Christmas like London does. The British sure know how to decorate their squares and shopping streets with all the Christmas lights in different shapes like angels, stars, crowns, chandeliers,… and parrots and palm trees at Carnaby Street, even though I don’t really get what they have to do with Christmas.
10 photos that will make you want to go to London around Christmas time
London is one of those cities that knows very well how to “do” Christmas. You can find Christmas trees everywhere in London around Christmas time. Every street is decorated with spectacular Christmas lights. Especially the Mayfair and Soho area with Oxford Street, Regent Street and Carnaby Street look amazing! London does not just hang some Christmas lights in the streets. They make massive angels, bows, Christmas baubles of it! And it’s not just the city itself that is making an effort.
