The Best Christmas Displays in London

Selfridges

The first London department store to unveil its Christmas window displays this year, the festive scenes depicted certainly do not disappoint. With windows portraying Christmassy spins on beloved fairy tales and famous festive scenes, the end result is truly enchanting. Inside too, Christmas confetti cannons are showering the store with yet more festive spirit.

Liberty London

With rich and warming colours, plus décor covered in jewels and crystals, Liberty London’s Christmas window displays are truly sumptuous. Incorporating art in many guises, quirky creatures sculpted by Billie Achilleos sit alongside bonsai trees instead of traditional Christmas trees. Modern, cosy and whimsical, it’s worth visiting to see a genuinely unique take on Christmas.

Fortnum & Mason

With moving window displays featuring cats in red jackets – who were first used in the department store’s Christmas campaign in the 1950s – Fortnum & Mason has taken a quirky approach to its window displays this year. A little like Santa’s elves getting everything ready for Christmas, the cats are depicted filling up bottles of champagne and working on mince pie assembly lines!

Kew Gardens

The world-famous botanic gardens at Kew have created another incredible light trail for Christmas 2019. A mile-long trail features everything from mythical creatures to laser illuminations, as well as a Tunnel of Light and a cosy fire garden. This light installation is running from 17 November 2019 to 5 January 2020.

Coca Cola Christmas truck

World famous from the festive advert that runs each year, the Coca Cola Christmas truck is undertaking a tour of the UK this year. Go and see it at the O2 Arena in London on 15 December for a piece of Christmas nostalgia. It’s supporting a good cause too – Coca Cola is donating 10p to the charity Crisis for every can thrown away in recycling bins for the duration of the tour.
