TG LONDRA'DA CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS PLACES TO

London
VISIT IN

Famous department stores decorated in festive bling, twinkling lights
draped above the streets as bright red double-decker buses pass by and
sparkling Christmas trees of every size are plentiful. Wine is mulling,
chestnuts are roasting and a rosy-cheeked, white-bearded Santa
seems to be everywhere at once, there really are no places to visit like
London at Christmas. Yes, the shops are crowded and yes, it is overly
commercialized but there’s a buzz in the air, smiles beam at the sight of
so many fairy lights, and ripples of laughter ring out from the pop-up
ice rinks that appear each year around the city. The
excitement grows as the countdown to Christmas begins.
Don’t be a Scrooge, pop on your Christmas jumper and
enjoy my Christmas places to visit in London.

WINDOW SHOP AT LUXURY DEPARTMENT STORES
London is home to a number of well-loved high-end department stores,
most notably Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, and Selfridges. All of them look
fabulous decorated in their Christmas bling. It’s worth visiting them just
to see their festive window displays. Be sure to pop inside too, even if it’s
just to window shop. Harrods is one of my favorites to explore. You can
marvel at the gifts you might be buying for someone who has everything,
but you may also spot a bargain or two.
