St. Pancras International never fails to impress with it’s annual Christmas tree. This year’s display has been unveiled as the 34ft high ‘Tree of Hope’, in partnership with EL&N London (formerly known as Élan Café).
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone and everything, including quickly changing the way cities now look and operate.
In London, as in many cities around the world, health protection has been built into the urban landscape, in order for day-to-day activities to resume safely. Whilst tourist numbers are down in London, those who do come can be reassured by the safety measures in place.
This photo blog portrays some of the initiatives that have been adopted in the capital, including widened pavements to enable social distancing, hand sanitisers in key locations such as Piccadilly Circus, and clear signs and road markings to remind people on how to prevent the virus from spreading.
After Christmas and New Year, the next thing I always look forward to is the deLIGHTful Canary Wharf Winter Lights display!
January saw the return of the award-winning displays for the sixth year. This year was the busiest it’s ever been, with thousands of people going to see the 25 dazzling installations.
London always knows how to ring in a new year in style. Since I was little, I’ve always watched London’s dazzling fireworks display on TV – it’s the best in the world – but I’ve never been able to go and see them in person…until this year.
2020 is a big year. It’s a new decade. So if there was any year I went to see the fireworks from the prime spot right opposite the London Eye, it had to be this year. And I am so glad I did!
