The Festive Illuminations in Central London / 伦敦市中心璀璨的圣诞灯饰

[rea]

Christmas shopping can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Though of course, it all proves worthwhile given the happiness it gives for the people we love so dearly in our lives. Hence, London's way to brighten up these darkened evenings running helterskelter around the city's capital is by their phenomenal aerial light shows. And yes, I'm referring to the famous "West End themed street lights".

Whilst lugging two bags full of presents draped over each arm, I had to make some pit-stops and take some snaps of that beautiful scenery above. Hope you enjoy this selection of my favourite and a glimpse into how this year's "Christmas London Light Show" looked.

Regent Street

(Angelic and gorgeous to admire. Great job for 2017's theme, guys...)

---

---

Piccadilly Circus

(Even more beautiful with a twinkling star between them.)

---

---

(Piccadilly world-famous enormous electronic advertising billboard had been under refurbishment for a while. I immediately noticed how much clearer the display was. The best just got a whole lot better!)

---

---

(Hippodrome - Once a famous nightclub but now turned into a glitzy casino.)

---

Oxford Street

---

---

---

(It's not only the main high street that has a bright and colourful selection of Christmas lights up.)

---

Convert Garden

(This photo just outside Covent Garden Station doesn't show just how many people were there. It was manic!)

Slingsby Place

Seven Dials

(Loved this quaint little street. More decorations and Christmas fun for the tourists and locals alike.)

---

---

(This mini sculpture marks the absolute "middle" of Seven Dials.)

---

(Another famous musical within London's world renowned theatre capital.)

圣诞节购物对于许多人来说可能是一年中最忙碌的时候。 当然，这是为我们家人和朋友准备礼物，所以再辛苦也值得，呵呵。为了配合大家忙碌的节奏，伦敦各处的圣诞灯饰层出不穷，五彩缤纷的灯光照亮了冬季的漫漫长夜。

最著名的要数伦敦中心的牛津街和摄政街，形成了圣诞节必不可少的一道风景，让游客们感受到伦敦不一样的美丽！

虽然我两手提着满满的购物袋，但还是忍不住停下来拍这些浪漫璀璨的圣诞灯饰。下面，我就来为Steemian朋友们介绍一下我喜欢的圣诞灯饰，希望大家也能感受到这里浓浓的节日气氛！

Wow great night photos, however i must admit the idea of Christmas Shopping among the crowds is not for me.

Give me my laptop, a nice coffee and my Amazon Prime and i'll have Christmas sorted in 30 minutes without even putting my coat on.
