London at Christmas

A couple of weekends ago, I travelled up to London with my family. As soon as you step into the capital you can see that christmas is in full swing - lights in every direction, jaw-dropping displays, bag-laden christmas shoppers and temperatures below freezing (There was even snow last week!!).

We started off in Oxford Street which was a little overwhelming but we took refuge in Lush. In London they have the biggest lush store in the world and it is huge! They also have exclusive products so it is definitely worth a visit.

After that, we strolled through Carnaby Street which boasts independent, contemporary shops. It is the hub of fresh, original ideas and it is one of my favourite spots in London. On the way in, we stopped for a while in Liberty which is so beautiful, especially this time of year. The whole store looked like a giant Santa's grotto of luxury gifts.

We then proceeded through Regent Street and out onto Piccadilly where we visited Fortnum & Mason's. 

From there we walked through Burlington Arcade and into Old Bond Street which is without a doubt luxury beyond luxury. I was in awe at the beautiful decorations and glistening store fronts.

Before catching a train home, we caught one last fleeting glance of the beautiful Oxford Street lights, but not to worry as i'll be back tomorrow and i might even write a blog post about it.
