Here’s a great video of the work behind Fortnum & Mason’s fantastic Christmas window display for 2012. The designs were unveiled by the Lord Mayor of London, with the participation of actors from the Hackney Empire’s Christmas pantomime, Dick Whittington.

The windows feature a replica of the Lord Mayor’s Coach: if you want to see the real one, pop into the Museum of London anytime for a look at the original article.

Christmas is a great opportunity to enjoy London’s amazing retail and shopping streets. Check out our guide to Christmas Shopping in the capital here.

It’s almost time for the Lord Mayor’s Show in London and, for the curators at the Museum of London, this means they’ve got quite a complicated task on their hands.

Here’s a quick video highlighting one of the Museum of London’s best treasures – the Lord Mayor’s Coach – and explaining the work that goes into manoeuvering the coach out of the gallery for this special show each year.
