Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree

London Christmas Lights 2007

Trafalgar Square benefits from a huge Christmas Tree each year as a present from Norway for the country's help during the Second World War. The tree is usually over 20 meters high and 50-60 years old. The Christmas tree lights are switched on in the evening on the first Thursday in December. The tree usually stays till the Twelfth Night of Christmas, 6 January, when it is taken down to be chipped and mulched.
