Maybe you arrive and the lights are dark. Don’t panic. First, check the date—are you visiting in March? Then yes, they’re off. Go see the daffodils instead. They’re nature’s little yellow bulbs, and they’re free.
London Christmas Lights
If it’s November through January and they’re still off, you’ve probably hit a power cut. In which case, congratulations—you’ve witnessed a true London miracle. Embrace the darkness and find a cozy pub. That’s where the real warmth lives.
And remember: the lights are always on in a different way. The glow from a thousand shop windows, the sparkle of rain on pavement, the twinkle in a stranger’s eye when they laugh at a bad joke. That’s London’s secret lighting.
