If you were in London during Christmas 2023, you might have seen the Book Christmas Tree at St. Pancras Station.
It was a breathtaking sight. I'm delighted I had the chance to see it in person.
In collaboration with the bookseller Hatchards, which is the oldest bookshop in the city, this 12-meter tree was constructed from 3,800 hand-painted classic books, including A Christmas carol and the lion the witch and the wardrobe., over 270 shelves showcasing all the beautiful books. At the base of the tree, a circle of cozy reading nooks invited visitors to sit and enjoy audiobooks. It proudly stood in St Pancras international station.
The trip was ideal for readers and Potterheads alike, who, like us, visited London during the festive Christmas season.
Sadly it has been taken down now but it was such a beautiful sight to see if you managed to see it.
Did you get a chance to see this beautiful tree?
I can't believe its almost been a year since I was in London but I still have so many posts to post. I will be trying to aim for 2 posts a weeks Ill also be posting on Tik tok @wanderlustwithdanii.
Update - This year in 2024 you can see a wicked themed tree.
Until Next time
