iChauffeur Your London Chauffeur

As the evenings are getting shorter and Christmas is only days away, what better way is there to pickup those last minute Christmas presents than in a chauffeur-driven car?

For many Londoners the lighting of the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree marks the start of their Christmas celebrations. This Great British Event has since 1947 become as much of a London landmark as Nelson’s Column.

The tree is a gift from the Norwegian people, in gratitude for the assistance that Britain lent to Norway in WWII.

The lighting of the Christmas tree will take place on Thursday 4 December 2008. From Monday 8 December to Friday 19 December 2008 Trafalgar Square will see groups performing Christmas carols.

The lighting of the Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square

Thursday, 6th December 2007

Since 1947, the gift of a large tree from the people of Norway to Londoners, has become a Great British Event. Many Londoners start their Christmas celebrations with the lighting of the tree and carol singing in Trafalgar Square.

It will be decorated in traditional Norwegian fashion, with vertical strings of lights. Energy-efficient light bulbs are used.

The tree remains in Trafalgar Square until the 4 January 2008, just before the Twelfth Night of Christmas. The tree will then be taken down for recycling.

Carol Singing in the square

The Christmas tree also provides a central focus for the carol-singing programme which runs each evening from 5pm to 9pm from 10 to 23 December 2007, with the exception of Tuesday 11 December.

The lighting of the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree

Thursday 7th December 2006, 17:45

Every year since 1947, the Norwegian people have given the people of London, a Christmas tree in gratitude for Britain’s support for Norway during World War II. 2006 marks the 60th year of this tradition, and this year the tree will be lit by HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway in the presence of HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, the Mayor of Oslo and the Mayor of Westminster.

The Christmas Tree

The tree, a Norwegian spruce and is over 20 metres high and between 50-60 years old. It is selected from the forests surrounding Oslo with great care several months, even years, in advance. The Norwegian foresters who look after it describe it fondly as ‘the queen of the forest’.

The tree remains in Trafalgar Square until 6 January 2007, the Twelfth Night of Christmas. The tree will then be taken down for recycling.
