Christmas in London

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!
