London Christmas Lights
An ideal walk around some of London's Christmas Lights! Starting the walk from Covent Garden, you can admire the impressive lights and the iconic Christmas tree - with more than 115.000 lights. Then, while walking towards Regent Street, we couldn't miss the shining stars which brightened the sky above Oxford Street. We then stopped by Regent Street to take photos of the fantastic angels hanging across the famous street. On the 17th of November, The lights on South Molton Street in Mayfair turn on, and you wouldn't want to miss the impressive decorations! Winter Wonderland was the next stop in our walk, and it is one of the must-see places during the festive season if you're looking for some Christmas fun! The last stop of our walk is Harrods which always puts on quite a show when it comes to window displays and lights.
