December lights in Regent Street, Oxford Street, and Trafalgar Square…
Christmas lights at the top end of Regent Street, near Oxford Circus…
Hmmm…I guess that Marmite sentiment is as true of some folks’ attitude to Christmas shopping in Oxford Street… 😉
Trafalgar Square from its western side…

I used to love Oxford Street when I was younger, and go there quite regularly when Donna was small and I lived in London for a while. I haven’t been there for many years, but from pictures it still looks much the same. Lovely photos ~ finished off very prettily by the snow flakes! 🙂
Nice! Your screen snow looks really cool against those enlarged nighttime Christmas shots. 🙂
Yes, some of the shops have changed over the years, and the products that they are selling, but the shopping experience is much the same year upon year :). I’ve no idea what percentage of IoW folk pop over to the mainland to do their Christmas shopping, but I’d guess it’s a more pleasant experience staying on the Island and doing it there :).
Thanks, andelieya :). In fact, it began to rain as I wandered along Oxford Street, from Oxford Circus to Marble Arch, so I took refuge in a huge and famous London store called Selfridges, where I happened to chance upon a couple of fairies, or maybe they were angels, rollerskating around the floor ;).
