Aww, I want to see the giant snow globe! But, those adorable robins on Carnaby Street more than make up for it. I’ve never been to London at Christmas, but my hometown, Harrogate, was often regularly chosen as the place in the UK with the best Christmas decorations. Then one year, it inexplicably stopped putting them up, causing it to be chosen as the least Christmassy place. Now, it has the decorations back, but they’re not as good as they once were. Hmm. Anyway, Kew Gardens looks gorgeous, and as for the ice skating, well, I can barely stand up on ice skates…bad memories.

I miss Christmas in London! I’ve learnt to appreciate it so much after being in Korea, where the Christmas spirit isn’t as high. I worked on Oxford Street for 6 years, and my personal favourite is always the Selfridges Christmas window. Love the food at Winter Wonderland every year to!

I don’t really care for Christmas, but these pictures are nice. I agree the lights in Oxford Street are quite nice, and that in contrast, the snow globe in Piccadilly Circus is indeed rather ugly.

Ahh! Christmas lights in a big city is the perfect holiday cheer for me! Unfortunately Korea isn’t so into it… but I can live through your pictures! Great memories in Hyde Park right before Christmas drinking spiced wine to warm up… sigh… that’s the best!
