The lights of Regent Street formed a canopy along the whole street. Much more effective than the photos show. We spent an hour or 2 wandering round & round the 5 floors of Hamleys toy shop. When Brock & I were kids we were taken there every Christmas to spend our pocket money. I'm sure it had at least 26 floors when I was younger though. We stopped for a cuppa & an all important slice of cake in the top floor cafe.

Beyond Marble Arch, a quite moving memorial to the animals who served in wartime. "Obedient unto death, they had no choice".

We stopped to check out the Park Corner Aston Martin dealership. That one's nice. How much? One & a half -million. Hmm, maybe not this week then.
Across the road & into Hyde Park, jumping out of the way of the endless streams of joggers & mountain bikers. We headed for the bright lights of a fairground in the distance. It turned out to be a German Christmas fair. Again, snapshots don't do it justice. A truly magical experience with a lovely, cosy festive atmosphere. No blaring hip hop & pop music, just the sounds of Sinatra & Tony Bennet wafting through the trees. Lots of beautifully carved wooden figures & decorations, bratwurst sausage & hog roast stalls, beer kellers, inviting restaurants, even a full size ice skating rink. And all here for just a few weeks.

A 2 storey restaurant, brought from Germany & erected in the middle of Hyde Park, just for the Christmas period.
