Is this London's most Christmassy walk?

"The walk begins at Bond Street Station. Step out onto Davies Street and you're immediately in the heart of Mayfair, where the first festive showstoppers appear: Claridge's and Annabel's. Claridge's is known for its classic, glamorous Christmas tree and elegant facade, while just down the road Annabel's delivers one of the most extravagant decorations in London each year. Both are unmissable and set the tone for the festive journey ahead."

"From here, you cross the peaceful Berkeley Square before continuing along Bruton Street, where boutique shops glow with seasonal charm. This leads you neatly onto New Bond Street a highlight of the entire walk. Chanel, Dior, Cartier and Ralph Lauren all compete for the most enchanting Christmas display, with giant bows, dazzling lights and beautifully styled windows that draw crowds night after night."

"A left turn onto Burlington Gardens takes you towards another iconic stop: the historic Burlington Arcade. Its warm, uniform lights and vintage atmosphere make it feel like stepping into a traditional Christmas card. When you exit, The Ritz greets you from across the street, shining with its signature golden glow an unmistakable London landmark during the festive season. Continue along Piccadilly and you'll soon reach the magnificent facade of Fortnum & Mason."
