Today we took our annual trip up to see the windows and lights in the West End. Frankly, I was less impressed with the windows this year, both in Harrods and Selfridges, than in some previous years, but we have fun poking around anyway.
We had a stroll through the Food Hall in Harrods - didn't buy anything, but it's always fun to look at the way things are displayed,
such as this ice-sculpture at the lobster counter.
We then hopped a bus up to Hyde Park, where we had a visit to the Winter Wonderland. Alex had some candy floss, and we poked around, watching the rides and looking at some of the vendors. Again, didn't buy much of anything except some snacks (and some mulled wine for the grownups!).
It was a really mild day, so nice to walk outside. Lots of people strolling along the Serpentine apparently thought so as well.
Not to mention a number of seagulls in puddles.
The windows in Selfridges were a little better than Harrods, though both of them were all white, silver and crystal this year. I did like this bird, though.
Here's one of the large star lights in Oxford Street.
The windows at Hamley's were a little better - all Lego-themed, including a large Lego Father Christmas and some dwarves, etc. We then had a stroll through Carnaby Street and down to Picadilly Circus with a stop on the way at
Scoop in Brewer Street in Soho, for a small treat...
