December in London like a local.

First on the list - the best of London street decor! And here you are in for a treat, as in London not only do the city officials compete between each other on the most festively decorated boroughs and streets, but the big brands, department stores and smaller communities get involved too.

• Walk route 1 - Mayfair: From Bond Street station, through a Molton Street and to the jewel of the area - the New Bond Street. Other important stops of the area are the Ritz and The Berkely Square to see Annabel’s, Hedonism Wines, the neighbouring restaurants and hotels, including Koyn and the Conaught.

• Walk route 2 - Oxford Street, Carnaby and Regents street: Paul Dart’s iconic Christmas Lights and all the central streets (*come during the weekdays or before the dark to avoid huge crowds)

• Walk route 3 - Covent Garden: Stand under the mistletoe in the apple market, see their annual huge and always so perfect Christmas tree, catch some snow coming down from the Ladure’s terrace and walk around for the festive window displays.

• Walk route 4 - West London: Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Belgravia. Walk past Harrods, and in the direction of Pantechnicon, see the Motcomb street while you are there. Then, there are Pavilion and Kings roads, Duke of York and Sloane Squares, Eccleston Yards and the privately decorated houses of South Ken and Notting hill.
