West End Christmas Lights t=short.63
Length: 3.9 miles/6.3 km -- about 2 hours walking
It is the custom at this time of year to get in a festive mood with a SWC evening walk around the West End Christmas lights. Traditionally, this has been led by various guest guides....but now, for the first time, there is an official GPS file and some basic route information available here. The route claims to cover the best of the Christmas Lights on offer in London.....
Usually, there is the option to grab something warm to drink along the way and there are ample refreshment stops towards the end of the route......
Look forward to seeing you there!

n=16 on this holiday classic.... many thanks to the GPX file, we were actually able to stay mostly intact as a group once we reconnected at Covent Garden after an early fracture crossing the Strand.... As usual, the lights were cheerful and abundant...most were also treated to a seasonal ballet excerpt from the Nutcracker....while waiting for the group to reconnect... some enjoyed hot beverages along the way.... In addition to the lights, we spent some time admiring the creative windows at both Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason..... 13 finished the evening off at the Prezzo near Trafalagar Square where the enterprising staff were willing to arrange the tables at the end of shift to accommodate our large group. A fun night out on a w=cold-dry-night-with-full-moon.
