Starting with the giant tree in Covent Garden and the huge baubles hanging from the roof of the piazza, your small group will take a 2-hour stroll around some of the prettiest lights in London.
Photo: londondrum.comYou'll see Norway's famous Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square which was gifted to the city for our help during World War II, then walk past the bright lights in Waterloo Place and the festive boutiques down Bond Street and Burlington Arcade.

With Smithfield meat market going I’m remembering how much Covent Garden has changed. If you bought a piece of fruit forty years ago then they’d twirl it around in a brown paper bag and charge you 20p, but now it will probably come wedged on the edge of a cocktail glass pic.twitter.com/gpEJ0S3ZhV
