2011 Christmas lights, Covent Garden, London

The 2011 Christmas lights and decorations are very similar to last year at Covent Garden with the red baubles but the star lights have been replaced retro glitter balls and spot lights. The lights are reflected onto the ceiling and the side arches have extra lights so it make the halls seem brighter.

See  this set on Flickr for other pictures of the Covent Garden piazza.

2011 Christmas Lights, Oxford Street, London

Last Saturday evening I got some good pictures of the Oxford Street 2011 Christmas lights. By reducing the exposure as much as possible the lights came out well. The umbrella and parcels are the same as last year but the Stars are new, replacing the large parcels from last year.
