Marylebone High Street Official Start to Christmas

Last year I stumbled upon the Marylebone High Street Christmas fair and concert and it was serendipitous. This year I sought it out and it was as magical and enjoyable as I remembered.

It's a one night affair with a true community feel as many of the local shops, schools and associations get involved. There is a concert with a local choir and various entertainers before a celebrity guest throws the switch, turning on the Christmas lights and officially starting Christmas.

This year's event seemed to be double the size of last years, there was tons of food stalls set up with a lot of non traditional and tradition Christmas foods to sample.

Of course Santa was there and was the most popular attraction for a certain demographic.

I indulged in some mulled wine and a mini mince pie (before dinner! Gasp!)

Santa's reindeer waited patiently for him to finish up with his duties and posed pretty for the pap.

Attending this event really got me into the spirit and I went home and listened to Christmas music (it might have been mid November--breaking my own no Christmas music before Dec 1 rule, but it couldn't be helped).




Fun travels!

  2. It's one of my favourite streets in London generally, but at Christmas time, it's just magic.
