We’ve rounded up some of the most festive places to do your Christmas shopping in central London.
The John Lewis Christmas advert is out, and that’s seen by many as the definitive green light to talk about the C word. Meanwhile, the rest of us live in total denial and disbelief that we’re almost in December. Either way, Christmas is nigh, and the keen ones amongst us have already planned our Christmas shopping. If you can’t tell where we stand at Secret London, let’s just say that The Pogues were playing as we scrolled through Instagram and compiled this list… (? by @levanterman)
As always, Harrods is totally ‘lit’ at this time of year…
…and it’s full of lovely, festive things.
Liberty is also looking suitably Christmassy…
And they have a lovely new installation…
And… festive pickles!
However, you could say that Selfridges is the queen of Christmas.
They’ve decked the halls with disco balls…
Much to the delight of Santa Claus, who is rocking out in their window display.
Covent Garden has got all dressed up for the festive season, too.
And there is festive cheer around every corner!
Fortnum and Mason is also fantastically festive during the holidays…
…just look at this twinkly staircase!
Their window display is also double cute.
And the rest of the store? Well, just look at it ?
Down the road, John Lewis has gone totally wild with the fairy lights…
It’s super sparkly both inside and out…
But what we love most about John Lewis at this time of year is their beautifully organised bauble display…
In fact, the whole Christmas shop is arranged by colour.
It’s just. so. satisfying.
And finally, Fenwick have also gotten involved in the Christmas cheer-spreading!
We don’t often advocate visits to Oxford Street or its surrounding areas, especially in the lead up to Christmas. But we can’t argue with the fact that it is absolutely magical at this time of year…
