Christmas Light All Around: Breakfast with Santa in happy Harrow, plus Intu nationwide and London's Oxford Street

Problem
What's new? What am I missing?

Answers
All over England, and indeed the world, log into your nearby Shopping Centres to find out about the lights, activities and novelties and offers.

Dickens talked about the spirit of Christmas past. Here's my glimpse of the past lights.

Intu and Watford and More
Intu at Watford is a centre I know, which has lovely white lights, but the good news is Intu also has malls all over the UK.

Harrow
Harrow Harrow sent me an email and I discovered I can log into the St George's Centre which has its own website.

St George's has the handsome apprentice star turning on the lights. New this year (new for me) is breakfast with Santa. Another Santa opportunity elsewhere in a Santa bubble is an opportunity for a selfie with Santa and a competition.

If you don't want to spend any money, at least enjoy the new loos which are prettily painted with clouds and balloons.

In Harrow, which part is St George's and which is St Anne's? That always used to puzzle me. Then one day I looked up inside St George's and realised they had pictures of St George around the top.

From Harrow, it's quick and easy to get the train into London and see the London lights.
