Christmas Lights Tour, Part 1
Details
- Let's celebrate London's festive edition with light decorations, shopfronts as well as the Christmas trees starting with the one in Trafalgar Square.
- The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is usually a Norwegian spruce (Picea abies) over 20 metres high and 50 to 60 years old. It is selected from the forests surrounding Oslo with great care over several months, even years, in advance. The Norwegian foresters who look after it describe it fondly as 'the queen of the forest'.
- We will then visit Leicester Square, Piccadilly, Mayfair, Regent Street, Carnaby Street, The Liberty, Oxford Street and Selfridges.
We will finish our walk outside the Bond Street tube station. Optional drinks/food at the end of the walk.
What to bring:
Comfortable footwear
Warm clothes and accessories.
