Christmas Cheer!

One of the wonderful things about London as November progresses is the wonderful lights that illuminate the streets and passages of our historic city! You can wander at will for free and enjoy the dazzling displays. In Covent Garden the Christmas market has a fabulous “Theatre of Christmas” theme! Take a ride on the carousel and have a festive hot chocolate to keep you warm! Wonder at the Christmas Angels of Regent Street and be amazed by over 300,000 stars twinkling over Oxford Street. Bond Street has a superb display featuring lights inspired by the dazzling crown jewels (the originals are safely tucked up in the Tower of London!).

In the City of London, Leadenhall Market on the site of the Roman Forum from 2000 years ago, is one of London’s most stunning locations. The gorgeous display features a beautiful tree and lights. These will be switched during a historic and special ceremony by the first ever Lady Mayor of London,Dame Susan Langley DBE, on November 13th 2025. Dame Susan is only the third the third woman out of the 697 people who have held the post - but the first to take the title of Lady Mayor!
