Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! 

I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Read A Christmas Carol

Harrod's of London

Harrods has gone all out this Christmas 2010 with a string of exclusive gifts for everyone. Explore a selection of gifts and make it an exclusive Harrods Christmas this year. Possibly the most famous lights on a single store are at Harrods in Knightsbridge.

Christmas in London is a magical time and made more so by some of the best Christmas lights in the world. Most of them switch on in the middle of November and we recommend checking out Bond Street, Marylebone High Street, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, and Covent Garden - and at the same time, of course, you can do your London Christmas shopping.

 

Decorate your tree in Aspinal style this Christmas with our delightful collection of Little London Christmas Tree Decorations. Each bauble is traditionally hand-crafted from mouth-blown glass and then individually hand painted to create a perfectly finished glittering Christmas tree bauble. Each collection includes a London Taxi, Big Ben, an Old Fashioned Telephone Box, a London Double Decker Bus and a Grenadier Guard.

 

Arrive in a protective wooden presentation box. The lights on the famous Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square have been turned on. Since 1947 the pine tree in central London has been a gift from the people of Norway in recognition of Britain's support during World War II.

The Norwegian Spruce was selected from a forest near Oslo in November and was then shipped across the North Sea. The 66ft (20m) tree is more than 100 years old and is decorated with 500 lights using halogen bulbs. London Christmas Tours
