London In December

A week in London saw us amongst a vibrant city in full festive mode. The main shopping streets such as Oxford St and Regent St were decorated with Christmas lights. Shop windows featured elaborate displays and restaurants were offering Christmas menus. The weather was cold but fine and the daylight hours were reduced from about 8:30 am to about 4pm. A huge Winter Wonderland was set us in Hyde park offering European style Christmas markets and amusement rides for children.
