Blogmas 2019 - Day Seven: Five Instagrammable Christmas Spots In London

-

Happy Saturday and welcome to day seven on Blogmas! Can you believe it’s already been seven days of December? Time really is flying by. For today’s post, I thought I would share with you guys a few photographable Christmas themed spots in London.

Tiffany & Co. Winter Wonderland and Ice Rink
As if Covent Garden wasn’t already magical enough during Christmas time! This year, Covent Garden’s Piazza has been transformed into a Central Park inspired wintry spot. Sparkly snow, oversized blue boxes, a snow globe and a unique ice rink all adorn the Piazza and help to transform it into the most magical Christmas themed experience. Even if you don’t want to go ice skating, the area is still perfect for capturing those dazzling snaps and putting you in the festive mood.


Pink Christmas Tree – Elan Café
If you know me at all, you know how obsessed I am with pink so obviously I had to get photos with the gorgeous pink Christmas Tree that Elan have in their Knightsbridge branch. In keeping with their pink theming, the tree fits in perfectly and definitely makes the ideal photo opportunity for people – like me – who love Christmas and love all things pink. Elan also serve delicious food so you can grab a sweet or savoury snack as well as snapping your pink picture.


Trafalgar Square
Is there anything more iconic than getting a photo with the Christmas Tree that takes pride of place in London’s infamous Trafalgar Square every year? Well, they’ve gone and made it even more iconic this year by adding Christmas markets! It sounds like the perfect dreamy Christmas trip doesn’t it? I’m yet to visit but it’s definitely on my list for a date evening with Jade. You can take a wander through the markets and then get a cute photo with the famous Christmas Tree.

Classic and Alternative Christmas Trees
It is, of course, iconic and a ‘must be done’ to get photos in front of Christmas Trees during the season. There are so many places around London where you can get photos with magical trees. Covent Garden, for instance, has their main Christmas tree so you can ensure you get that classic shot with their magnificent tree. As well as this, they also have a wonderland assortment of trees where you can get a photo with multiple Christmas Trees. As well as this, many establishments transform the front of their buildings to look like Christmas Trees (Maddox Gallery and Annabel’s in Mayfair are prime examples of this). Additionally, Tower Bridge is home to a Christmas Tree made of lights for another “alternative” shot.

Regent Street Lights
What better way to have a break from your Christmas shopping then to get a photo with the Regent Street Angel lights? The street is adorned with the Christmas lights making your shopping experience even more magical and giving you the perfect excuse to take a quick break from the shopping to snap a photo or two in front of the lights.


These are obviously just a few of the Instagrammable Christmas spots that London has to offer and let’s face it – the whole city transforms into a Winter Wonderland during the season so there’s plenty of other places that aren’t on my list. Have you taken photos at any of the places I mentioned? Let me know!

Never Grow Up

-
From the ‘Isn’t Disney for kids??’ remarks to the raised eyebrow looks you receive from some people when Disneybounding in Disneyland; one of my biggest pet peeves is being told Disney isn’t for you because you’re no longer a child. Most people I’ve come across have thankfully been quite the opposite to the above statement. However, I know this isn’t always the case as the concept of ‘Never grow up’ seems to have gone over a lot of people’s heads. Let’s start with the films. Animation, singing and princesses? I can already hear the scoffing coming from those who would argue that these are marketed towards children. The sheer hard work and imagination that goes into making such films were not just created with the intention of only being viewed by children and those that take them to see these films. The beauty of Disney movies are that they are universal. The detail that goes into the animation, the thought that goes into the messages the films portray and the time that goes i

Why I Love Disneyland Paris

-
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I like to visit Disneyland Paris as much as I can throughout the year. I am planning on visiting the other Disney Parks (that’s something for a whole different post) but Disneyland Paris will always be home to me. I love DLP for a whole array of reasons and one of them is most definitely how easy it is to get to my favourite place. Living in London means that it just takes me one tube journey to get to St Pancras to catch the Eurostar. We’ve even been lucky enough to get a direct train to Disney on occasion. Coupling this with staying offsite in the close by Ibis Budget (In Val D’Europe) and having Annual Passes, our visits to Disneyland Paris are more affordable – and leaves us with more money to spend in the shops! From the moment I step off the train in Marne La Vallée and walk the short distance towards the magic; I’m instantly transported into the bubble of Disney. This is only heightened when I finally make it into the park for the first

Disney at Home

With Disney being such an important part of my life, and with frequent visits to Disneyland Paris, it’s only natural that Disney is incorporated into various aspects of my home life. In October of last year, I moved into my own flat with my girlfriend and our best friend. Having a whole place to ourselves meant we were free to furnish it how we please, and obviously that had to include some Disney magic sprinkled around the flat. Our living room is home to our beautiful dark wood bookcase, in which the middle shelf is home to our growing collection of shiny o-ring DVDs. Thus far, we have 32 in our collection that sit underneath a bed of Tsum Tsums. On top of the bookcase sits two of my favourite purchases we’ve made whilst in Disneyland Paris: our working Cogsworth and Lumiere figurines. These two items are quite pricey so we saved up for them and purchased both on two separate DLP trips with the aid of our Annual Pass discounts. Alongside them sits our Mrs Potts moneybox and
