If you want to do some window shopping, London is a great place to go. The West End is a good place for window displays, as good as any gallery.

The Harrod’s displays, when I visited at Christmas, consisted of mannequins in tinselly outfits surrounded by glittery white branches. The exterior looks quite pretty at night too, if you are shopping in the evening.

Picadilly in London is a stylish shopping street with the popular Burlington Arcade, offering cashmere and jewellery for those wealthier shoppers amongst us as well as surreal looking cakes.

Fortnum & Mason used the traditional theme of the twelve days of Christmas.

This was my favourite display in Fortnum’s not quite sure what it is supposed to be though.

Perhaps the best Christmas decoration was outside the Royal Academy. They’d used a three-legged creature with his foot on a head. Interesting…
