Christmas is when London is at its glittering best. Everywhere you look, there are festive lights illuminating wintry skies, Yuletide markets offering mulled wine and kitschy trinkets, elaborate shop window decorations and gleaming ice rinks. But for true Christmas connoisseurs, London’s fir tree displays are a highlight.
The presents arrayed round them might be fake, but the magic of these Christmas trees is real. Trafalgar Square’s towering fir is a prized London tradition. Covent Garden always goes all out on the festive glitz. You’ll typically find an arty riff on a classic at Coal Drops Yard. And London’s fanciest hotels often commission top designers to create oh-so-chic trees you could never emulate at home. Here’s our rundown of London’s best Christmas tree displays this year.
Most of London’s Christmas trees for 2023 haven’t been announced yet, but they tend to pop up from late November onwards. We’ll update this list with more details when we get them.
