Covent Garden at Christmas is a magical Christmas wonderland that never fails to bring joy to the hearts of Londoners.
Its halls are decked with larger-than-life golden bells, with beautiful glittering red bows.
Inside the market, mirror balls send shards of light in every direction, filling the space, as if glitter were spread across all the walls.
However spectacular these decorations may seem, the real showstopper is the 60ft tall tree that brings the Christmas spirit to all eyes that admire it.
Past the Apple Market, outside, is the most gorgeous real tree in London Decorated with around 30,000 lights, all assorted colours, this Christmas tree is one of London’s favourites.
It has such a grand presence that is hard not to admire, each light glimmering at just the right intensity.
The entire tree is lit, no space left dull, every single branch wrapped in the stunning red and white brilliance. It is utterly incredible.
If you are lucky enough to find a semi-empty spot surrounding the tree, do not miss the opportunity, snap that photo, in one single picture the essence of Christmas is captured.
Since it is such a divine spot, it is extremely crowded during this time of year, especially on weekends.
Consider yourself blessed if you manage to take a photo of yourself in front of the tree without any intruders in the background.
Aswell as the overwhelming beauty of the Christmas tree, Covent Garden has much more to offer, with a plethra of shops all decorated to its finest for the festive season.
To sooth your ears, live singers (mostly extremely talented opera singers) serenade you whilst you finish your last-minute Christmas shopping – the holiday is right around the corner, what better place to shop other than a market filled with Christmas cheer as well as the stores you need?
Covent Garden has so much to offer around this joyous time of year, from beautiful decorations, a Christmas tree taller than your average building and shops to fulfil all your Christmas needs.
It is truly spectacular.
