Christmas Day in London in photographs

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

When I think of Christmas in London - the first thing that comes to my mind is suspended transport. The last year I have been enjoying the festivity with my family at home, but this year I decided to get a bike and see what is happening on streets on 25th of December. The pictures follow my route from Zone 2 to Zone 1 which took me about two hours. Hope you will enjoy my photographs.

Trafalgar Square Christmas tree. Since 1947 Norway supplies trees in gratitude for support of Britain during World War II. The tree was selected from a forest in Norway and shipped across the North Sea. This particular tree is more than a 100 years old.

The car:
Probably a Nissan Figaro manufactured in 1991. You can actually inquire about this (or any) car on DVLA website.
