Towering above the street, these celestial figures stretch the length of the road, with their wings practically brushing the tops of the buses. Our bus takes a slow turn here, giving you ample time to snap photos and take in the beauty of these breathtaking decorations.

  3. Trafalgar Square’s Majestic Tree
    Ah, Trafalgar Square—home to London’s grand Christmas tree, gifted each year by Norway as a symbol of friendship.
