Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree & Carols: This tradition dates back to World War II when the people of Norway gave the people of London a gift of a Norwegian Christmas Tree in appreciation of their help during the war.

This is the 62nd year of this seasonal event and the tree will be lit by the Mayor of Oslo and the Mayor of Westminster on 4th December 2008 at 6pm. The tree will remain in Trafalgar Square until 5th January 2009.

Carols Around The Tree

This tradition has been carried on over the years and in the weeks leading up to Christmas many groups sing Carols under the tree. It's a truly magical experience which Londoners and tourists love.
