Christmas in the Garden

Covent Garden has become over the last couple of years one of the most popular places to go over the holiday period. From its glorious tree festooned with red baubles and multi coloured lights, to its giant reindeer with a bright red bauble nose.

With the opening of Shake Shack in the heart of the apple market, it was always going to be on mt Things to Do in London list at Christmas, especially when they released their December custard menu and Eggnog featured on a Tuesday.
Coincidentaly New Year's Eve fell on a Tuesday, so an Eggnog custard was consumed prior to my late afternoon trip to the Royal Opera House for the ballet.

This year another pop-up appeared for a short period over the festive period, a Pierre Koffman craperie sponsered by Krug.... fabulous little red boxes, complete with fur throws and fabulous food & drink.... gorgeous.

Covent Garden was one of my favourite places to amble around over the holiday season, soaking up the atmosphere people watching, eating and drinking great food, entertained by chiors and street artists.... much fun! All this and a Lego London snowglobe!..
