Wandering around the streets on a quiet Sunday afternoon at this time of year can be rather atmospheric and got me into quite a Christmassy mood.
This year there are a number of installations that you can walk into.
The ‘Happy House’ at City Point …
The ‘Bauble’ in the churchyard of Holy Sepulchre Church …
The arch at One New Change …
The ‘tree’ at the same location is as pretty as usual …
As is the view of St Paul’s …
The tree outside nearby St Mary-le-Bow …
Also in the churchyard …
At this time of year offices look a bit cosier than usual …
I wonder what’s going to be put in the big red stockings – this year’s bonus maybe (it is a bank!) …
The Shard, looking up from ground level …
… and a small selection of the constantly changing light display on the upper levels …
And finally, this year’s Barbican Christmas tree …
Remember, next week is the Christmas Quiz, so it’s time to do a bit of swotting since the questions will all be about blogs published in 2023.
