The Christmas spirit has officially taken over London, with festive facades, twinkling lights and an abundance of beautiful trees. The tallest? This beauty outside the Pan Pacific London…
This Is London’s Tallest Christmas Tree For 2024
Bishopsgate has just gotten a whole lot brighter – all thanks to Pan Pacific London’s brand new Christmas tree. Towering a whopping 67 ft, it’s expected to beat Trafalgar Square’s huge Norwegian spruce, which is usually the city’s tallest tree and last year measured in at 64 ft.
As part of a long-held tradition (dating back to 1942), every year, the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is selected from the forests near Oslo and gifted to the UK by the people of the Norwegian capital as a token of gratitude for British support to Norway during WWII. Last year, the Trafalgar Square measured in at 64 ft. Let’s see what Norway posts us this year…
Over in the City, Pan Pacific London has unveiled its whopping Christmas tree for the 2024 festive season – and it might have Trafalgar Square beat. Piercing the skyline at One Bishopsgate Plaza, the tree is born from a partnership between the luxurious hotel and the Eastern City Business Improvement District. As well as being extremely tall, the tree is adorned with 65,000 sparkling lights and more than 800 baubles in red and gold. Decorated by The Christmas Decorators, the tree was officially illuminated by Dame Joan Collins last week (14 November).
