Christmas in London 2011




Christmas in any major city can be full of fun. I have ventured into London for a few. To see the amazing lights and window displays is pure magic. The bookstores seem to flood with magic as old stories come to life of sugar plum fairies and Scrooge, seem to fill our minds of a time captured in books from long ago.
The many places to ice skate take us back to a time when perhaps life was just a little bit more simple. The many markets with traditional wreaths and sweets galore and you can even find chestnuts been sold, will cheer any soul. You might well find sweets and traditions from many countries as you walk the many streets of London.
The buses seem to have no end to the journey up and down Oxford street and oh dear Covent Gardens. I loved walking around Liberties and looking at the wonderful material's.
Garlands and lights fill this city and the traditional Christmas tree in Trafalgar square to me just brings a smile across my face. The many musicals and pantomimes that can be watched around London you just have to see one Panto' to be pulled in and love them.
Westminster Abbey and many churches throughout the city will have amazing services throughout this time of year. You might learn a new carol or two.
It is just magical, even landing in London over Christmas is just special.
So take the time to walk down the old streets of London try a mince pie or two, see a Panto and experience a magical city that you will never ever forget.
Below are some useful links enjoy.



Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
