London Christmas Lights 2015

I may complain occasionally (okay, frequently) about how gray and overcast London is, but the Christmas lights and decorations are mega making up for it. They're quickly becoming one of my favorite things about the city, especially for this time of year. However, I'm not a fan of mulled wine surprisingly enough.

We set out on Friday to look at the biggest displays — Oxford Street, New Bond Street, Regent Street, Carnaby Street, Trafalgar Square, The Strand, and Covent Garden are all decked out for the holidays. Not to mention several side streets and courts that have festive decorations, as well. I'll wander down to Harrod's and the National History Museum this week. I can't wait to see the ice rink!

Walking from Oxford Street to Covent Garden only took about two hours, even with my incessant fiddling with the camera to get just the right shot. My classic move of assuming the camera battery will last immediately failed me, so these were taken on a Samsung S5, which did a bang-up job if I do say so myself!

I posted the route at the end of the post if you're ready for your own evening stroll. I definitely recommend it.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
