Christmas in
London is a treat for the senses – sight, sound and taste buds – all are
stimulated during this week of hedonism.
Had read
about it, seen pictures of the festival and now finally experienced it!
The city of
London is literally lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree.
Mulled wine and Beer
There is a fun
festival at the Hyde Park grounds called the Winter Wonderland, a
festival for the children and adults too. It has some amazing rides, a skating
rink and the usual shooting stalls and ring the gift stalls
The pubs and
restaurants have Christmas decorations too and on the way to these on the
streets you are bound to see Santas in a hurry to go somewhere or the homeless
spreading some Christmas cheer.
The streets
and buildings along the street seem to compete with each other to outshine each
other!
Then you
have the glow taxis or the glowing cycle rickshaws playing lively music to
attract customers for a ride around the tourist haunts.
On Christmas
day all public transport comes to a halt and you have to make do with taxis or private
cars to travel around.
Overall it
is fun times for all!
