A Very Merry Christmas from London

by Katherina on December 24, 2011

I thought Lausanne did a pretty good job in bringing me into Christmas mood last year… but London has nothing to envy Switzerland in this subject – during the last few weeks I’ve been continuously surprised with the city’s lights and decoration!

Imagine leaving your office on a bad day and stumbling upon this every evening. Who can stay grumpy with such a light show?

With such short days it’s easy to leave lunch are realize it’s already dark… It was a nice surprise to see South Kensington / Sloane Square all lit up!

To be frank, I always associated Covent Garden with herds of tourists and overpriced meals – I am probably right about that, but this doesn’t stop me from having a drink at such a beautiful venue, right?

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It looks beautiful! I’m yet to experience Christmas time in London, but those festive lights would certainly cheer me up after a long day at work :D Enjoy your holidays!

I have always associated Christmas with England, maybe it is the whole “A Christmas Carol” thing? Anyway, nice pics and if all goes according to plans next year I will be spending time in England for Christmas.

Gorgeous Photos! Makes me feel all sad about Christmas being over – did you get a chance to see Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park? xx
