Walking with the Snowman, London Bridge

Christmas markets are popping up all over the UK now. One of the best in London for Christmas 2019 was the Christmas by the River market, by London Bridge. The best part was the festive sculpture trail celebrating Raymond Briggs’ quintessential Christmas character, The Snowman.

The trail featured 12 giant Snowman sculptures, each with stunning designs and decoration relating to the song, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. Each snowman was created by a different artist, each unique statue placed at a different location throughout the London Bridge Christmas by the River market.

I managed to find all 12, though a couple were hard to find. Some of my favourite snowmen, 3 French hens and 4 calling birds -

6 geese a-laying and 7 swans a-swimming

8 maids a-milking, 9 ladies dancing -

10 lords a-leaping, 11 pipers piping -

There were also lots of stalls selling food and drink, crafts and things. -

And the tree outside the iconic City Hall -
