Christmas starts with the tree in Trafalgar Square!
Briefly

The Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square marks the onset of the festive season in London; a tradition originating from Norway’s gratitude for UK's WWII support.
Transporting this year’s 57-year-old tree involved a commitment to environmental protection, using sea and electric truck, ensuring a greener journey for this iconic symbol.
The tree is upheld by mechanical arms in Trafalgar Square, addressing concerns over its stability due to England's unpredictable weather, highlighting the challenges of such displays.
After Twelfth Night, the tree is removed and recycled into mulch, adhering to the medieval belief that keeping it past this time brings bad luck.
