Covent Garden Christmas

Covent Garden – sleigh and trees. You can have your photo taken in the sleigh.

I needed to buy a present from the shop at The London Transport Museum, so it was a good excuse to enjoy the delights of Covent Garden. I’d heard there were flurries of snow on the hour too. The snow was a little disappointing, but hey, it was fun.

We mustn’t forget the history of Covent Garden

Of course, Covent Garden is well known for its street entertainers. Here is a little clip from one of them.

The flurries of snow came from a balcony. I took two videos to try and get the best shot of this deluge!

After leaving Covent Garden we decided to walk to Leicester Square tube, but we missed it, so we carried on walking back to Waterloo Station. At least we got to see other pretty lights.

At Charing Cross station there was a rather lovely tree. I don’t know, no videos for ages and then four come along at the same time!

Crossing the Thames with an almost full moon – photo doesn’t do it justice, but I only had my mobile with me.

Well, I hope that’s got you into the Christmas mood! Until next time, stay warm (it snowed here last night!)
