A few Christmas lights in London 2016

A few of the Christmas lights in central London in 2016. Starting in Oxford St. Some of these photos I took 9th Nov, when the lights were already up -

 NSPCC is the charity partner

I was quite disappointed by the Selfridges windows. They were too modern for my liking, showing Father Christmas with very modern scenes. See more on Selfridges www.

The other shops looked nice -

 The Oxford St 'theme' is snow-like decorations -

Moving on to Piccadilly -

The Regent Street lights were only turned on 17th Nov. They featured 'The Spirit of Christmas', each with a 17 m wingspan -

The Hotel Cafe Royal had a hologram of Santa climbing up the building and then Merry Christmas appeared in several different languages.

The Strand lights are London's greenest lights, being powered by a biofuel from cooking oil from London restaurants -

I also saw the traffic lights for Gay Pride 2016 -
