Embrace the magic of Christmas in Covent Garden, London, as the iconic district unveils a spectacular installation. Inspired by traditional golden bells, the Christmas lights showcase over 40 gigantic bells adorned with bows, complemented by 12 giant baubles and 8 spinning mirror balls, all elegantly displayed within the historic Market Building.
