The Christmas street lights and markets are back on in London although some lights aren't officially switched on until December. About the only changes from previous years are hanging stars instead of snowballs/display boards in Oxford Street and Carnaby Street has an infestation of 600 shimmering psychedelic butterflies as part of a collaboration with the refugee charity Choose Love.

Nice set Brian, particuarly like the framing in number 7.
I know you think you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what I said is not what I meant.

There certainly is something different to your photographs, which I like, but can anyone else hear the Doctor Who theme accompanying the above picture?

Kings Cross ~ Coal Drops Yard - Lewis Cubitt Square - West Handyside Canopy
Coal Drops Yard
Wasn’t sure about the 28ft tall Christmas Tree in Coal Drops Yard until I got inside and then the changing psychedelic colours and movement of the strip lights reflecting off the angled mirrors gave the impression of being in the opening titles of Doctor Who.

The curling lanes are plastic and not ice and the stones have little wheels on the underside.
