Description: Harvey Nichols is a wonderful department store from the UK and this is its number one outpost. At Christmas time, it takes a modern approach to window dressing and the whole shop is decked out in beautiful and interesting decorations. It sometimes even puts on a snow machine so that when you walk by it looks like it is snowing!

Description: Harrods is an institution in London and is a must see at whatever time of year. During December, it gets incredibly busy but is well worth the effort to see the lights and the world famous food halls when they are all decked out for Christmas. Window shopping is free here, but it is a great, albeit expensive, place to pick up some unique stocking fillers.

Description: Finish up your walk by going ice skating at the foot of the steps of the Natural History Museum - one of London's most beautiful buildings. You need to book tickets in advance as it is so popular with tourists and locals alike, but if skating is not your thing, you can soak up the atmosphere while enjoying a mulled wine at ice side bar.

Description: The lights in Sloane Square are truly stunning. Take them in, and if you fancy, have a quick drink or bite at one of the eateries surrounding the square. Then, start to amble up Sloane Street towards Knightsbridge.
