Is London’s Oxford Street the CRAZIEST place to be at Christmas? The best decorations!

Oxford Street and Regents Street are CRAZY this year! With amazing lights, busy shoppers and some very wild rickshaws to brighten up the roads. Today I also take you to John Lewis and then to the world famous luxury store Selfridges to see the Christmas store and more!

[@flowerlane7525]

Agree!

[@Petersworld77]

Ditto!

[@christianeduardo1]

Truest true ❤

[@lyndabond1443]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 and a big thank you to Hannah for making these videos to put us in the mood. Congratulations on over 150 thousand subscribers 🎉. ❤

[@22071994Julie]

I bought a felt mouse in John Lewis when I visited London this previous week. In my household a lot of things has human names, and the little felt mouse has been named “Hannah mouse” in your honor❤ Thanks for all the inspo for my London trip😊

[@debg8952]

Aww, can't beat London at Christmas time, makes me want to jump on a plane just to capture the vibe. Makes one feel very homesick. Love your videos Hannah, I watch them all from Auckland, New Zealand. Merry Christmas to you 🎅🎅🎅

[@joanfreestone1707]

I was in England in 2018 and I couldn't believe that those rickshaw things are allowed in London. They give it a foreign feel which I'm sure can't be popular, especially with tourists. Other than that, I would love to able to spend a Christmas in London. I love Regent Street and the decorations. Nothing compares.

[@shireen2296]

We all hate them, some people are pushing to make them illegal.

[@twigletz7384]

On another vloggers site I saw they have them in New York as well They are sooo out of place in both cities

[@marty9011]

The street lighting just blows me away - amazing. And the shop decorations were lovely. London looks amazing at Xmas time.

[@margopaton3240]

London is such a vibrant place with so much atmosphere. Its always so lively and the shops have got loads to choose from. Thank you for showing us all the sights and sounds. I really enjoyed watching as always.

[@bunnygirltheresa]

I was in london for 7 days 2 weeks ago, it was my first time traveling alone and outside Canada. I was so happy and I visited many places, i love every minute of this trip.

[@79designuk]

Rickshaw wise - great advice. Never done it. Prefer to walk. Prob quieter and less bright too! I do wonder why those stores rack the heating up so high, when many stores are going out of business. You start to get clausto a little, and just wana get out... Good to see the deccies tho, and the fancy foods. I"d say Oxford Street is a road now just to visit a couple of stores you want to see. It's no longer the street of all the stores to browse. And at night, you have to have your wits about you so much, with so many distractions: some that are on purpose! Take care of yourself streetwise Hannah.... see you next Tuesday..... ding ding. S.

[@jessiejoseph1093]

So beautiful! Thank you for taking us along! P.S. you really are not annoying.

[@DavidMeikle-ei7fr]

Another fun festive offering from Hannah. Good to see Hamleys still going, I went there as a child many decades ago

[@QBeeC2017]

Another great one Hannah! Thanks for braving the crowds and showing us the lights! Everything is so beautiful there.

[@MakeUpWitch]

I hear you on the price tags and the packaging, Hannah. I used to work in a big retail company and so I see all the errors as well 😜 To be honest I hate the loud music in the stores. A few days ago I went to Fortnum at St. Pancreas and they had carolers singing. It was so much better than the computerized "music" other stores play. Also, good point about the trainers. Last time I was in London I ruined my shoes (and feet!) and this time I totally killed my feet again. I really have to get some trainers, even though I hate them. 🙄

[@charlisays]

I hate those gnome things too 🤣🤣 lovely sparkly vid ❤

[@glenn5328]

Hi Hannah Fantastic vlog. Loved your little walking tour. Selfridges is an iconic store…….but Fortnum & Mason does Christmas the best! Annoying: Hannah NO. Gonks;YES

[@sunilnijran1515]

Such a beautifully presented video!!🙂... London by night.. at Christmas?!?😍😍😍... Looks stunning!! ... As do you, Hannah!!😊

[@davidmacdonald6611]

I honestly think London is the best at Christmas all the lights and decorations are so cool. Great vlog as always Hannah.

[@lordbyron3603]

Germany and France have great Christmas decorations

[@chrismarcotte4241]

Regents Street Is Glorious! Did you know there is a LIVE web cam on Picadilly that you can access from around the world? I have in the USA!

[@debbier9325]

Hi, I live in AZ. I would love to look at that site. Can you share that? 😊

[@bradpolak6793]

Your so right Biscuits snap and cookies crumble Also I love all the evenings Christmas lights

[@jmc8847]

Hi Hannah, I enjoyed your vlog of Selfridges during Christmas time. The way you describe it feels like I am walking along with you! London during Christmas time is enchanting. Your comments always make me laugh 😂. Hannah you videos are always fabulous. What a great job you are doing.!❤❤🌲🌲🌲🎄🎄🩷

[@wendyurquia4034]

Does London have the best Christmas lights in the world? Yes. ❤😊

[@JennyAmponsah]

I second this! In fact there’s no place like London at Christmas - period!!

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Thank you, Hannah. I love seeing all the various department store's this time of year. This is a wonderful time of year to visit London. 😊

[@pennyupson6000]

lol… ‘I didn’t know hairy balls were related to Christmas’. Yes Hannah, hairy balls can be all year. 🤣

[@Ecojock]

Awesome!!! I was waiting for this!!!

[@lindsayturcaloro5661]

Regents Street is absolute magic!! ✨

[@heidisider577]

"I didn't know hairy balls were related to Christmas"!😂😂😂😂You crack me up! Love your videos!❤

[@rarturoislasv6436]

I lived in LDN 20 years ago! (when I studied my MSc) I spent XMas and New Year's in the city. Regent Street hasn't lost any of the amazing decoration and festivities mood! Love it!

[@marleneyanchus4644]

NO One does Christmas stores better than Hannah , LOVE from Pennsylvania ❤ all the best in 2024 and of course Merry Christmas

[@jonathanhaynes6542]

Year 2 of Vlogmas wouldn't be run up to Christmas without you Hannah..

[@helmutreichart9081]

Another great video, totally agree re prices, if you sell something it should be mandatory to show the price!

[@veronicasinicropi1564]

Great video 🥰🙌

[@pauljmccluskey5532]

The comment you made about your phone, I've got one as well and what's really interesting is that there is a feature that mutes recorded music... not always a bad thing lol

[@markbrown635]

Thx Hannah for giving us a glimpse into BOTH John Lewis & Selfridges during this Christmas holiday season! As always, both stores are incredibly festive & always compete to have the most amazing merchandise & selections available! Also, the lights & sounds along Oxford St. are always so great to see & hear! Thx Hannah for sharing this vlog, & I am looking forward to your next installment of Christmas in London! Be safe Hannah, & have a great week!!!

[@samrhodes6387]

Christmas in London is just so beautiful

[@adriennevanquill1263]

My first trip to London was in December 2015. London at Christmas is beautiful, festive, and a bit magical. I'm so glad my first visit to your wonderful city was at Christmas. The experience left an indelible mark on my heart. Thanks for your videos!

[@The78vikings]

London does have the best Christmas lights and decorations! Love the Christmas vlogs! ❤❤

[@rhondalockrey9592]

The razzle dazzle lights everywhere would love to walking those streets right now!!! Thanks Hannah!

[@annettewalter2273]

The stair wells are always so beautifully decorated. I too worked in retail, loved the crowds. The days flew by, exhausted when I got home but loved it. It was certainly a switch from nursing which was also busy but in a different way. 🥰🎄I also have biscuits, no such thing as a cookie where I live. Thank you for another lovely video.

[@pauljmccluskey5532]

Hi Hannah, happy Friday! Loving your latest vlog... you never fail to entertain me with your "bohemian" sense of humour! Those "rickshaws" you showed earlier? I'd sooner hold on to my arms and legs by walking most places! I wouldn't want to be there now, it's all looking too mind-blowing, yet stunning architecture, decorations etc., are the best!!!

[@Petersworld77]

TGI Friday - Hannah Street chocolates 😂. It always makes me smile how used to extortionate prices you are - £4 for a cookie! 99p max around here. Anyway, another thoroughly enjoyable vlog Hannah, thank you and well done!

[@opalbeach9626]

That was so much fun, Hannah. I can't wait to see this in person. I'm just loving it all.🎉

[@lindademeyer3486]

All the beautiful things!! I have a furniture store here in Idaho so I love all the visual merchandising that you capture! Merry Christmas xo

[@jenniferpalmer5489]

❤Love the wine section, in the US we WISH😂 we could sample in side and just pay... 😮😊... I'm overwhelmed looking at the store on TV 😮😂 the cakes loose YUMMY... your right cookies bends, and a biscuit does break... those lit up white cars/travelthings remind me of being in I don't know what to say!!!

[@dougchinn2820]

Love going to Selfridge's around Christmas whenever I'm in London. They just go bonkers with the decorations and stuff they have on sale. Oxford and Regents Streets takes on a different vibe around Christmas. Thanks for taking us on tour.

[@dehelwig]

Holy smokes, Hannah! So many people and noise! No thanks. LOL!! I like the peaceful sides of cities better...please show those as well!

[@kellydouglas7232]

I Love your new earrings Hannah, they SPARKLE just like your Personality 💎💎😁

[@annazakhary949]

That was lovely! Thank you!

[@hollythea7819]

Thanks Hannah. Really enjoyed looking around with you and appreciate you navigating the Christmas crowds for us xx

[@christinefeatherston5897]

Love your Christmas vlogs Hannah, watch them every year ❤

[@barber0611]

love your sparkly earrings!....and you!....thank you for doing these ....they are wonderful

[@lawrenceakini4981]

Oh wow. It's spectacular. Happy Holidays. Cheers.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I missed this video! Glad to see it now. Thank you for creating it!

[@jaybon625]

London and Paris I think have the most beautiful Christmas displays and becomes magical around this time. London looks so very much in the Christmas spirit (and busy). Love the video 🎁🎄

[@liqiz1755]

I think you need go to Vienna, looks awesome too 🎉

[@squidgy2595]

I love your earrings 😂no I don’t like the gonks😂I’m sure nobody would find you annoying 😂 I love these Christmas vlogs 😊Thanks Hannah 😂😘

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Hannah, one thing that is so frustrating for the past few years is that when you try to find a Christmas Crib (Nativity Scene) either you cannot find it or it’s insanely expensive - trying to find anything relating to the real meaning of Christmas, that of Christ’s Birth, is almost impossible to find, so I do all of my Christmas shopping in mainly Catholic stores online, as I’m a very religious person being Irish myself - we do have a John Lewis store in the Trafford Centre here in Manchester but the prices are insanely expensive 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️

[@HannahRicketts]

I agree, there has been hardly anything to do with the meaning of Christmas..

[@onecupof_tea]

Westminster Cathedral in Victoria Street near Victoria Station, and Westminster Abbey opposite Big Ben, both have a shop which sell nativity sets. John Lewis department store also sell a wide range every Christmas.

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

Thanks for doing that when it was so very busy and loud. Merry Christmas.

[@SweetPeaG]

Thanks for the lovely video, love your sense of humour 😅, Merry Christmas 🎄

[@Buns1172]

Just back from Lunch in Beak Street, so we have seen the madness of Regent Street & Piccadilly 😊. Your commentary has totally relieved our stress of travelling home ❤️❤️. Thank you for what you do - keep up the excellent work 👏👏

[@mkcn1681]

So excited thanks for share excellent information merry Christmas happy new year

[@bronwencampbell6943]

Hannah- you are London’s ambassador!! And such a lovely guide! I am so excited after watching your videos- planning my 2025 London (and England/Scotland) tour (as much as can be had in 2 weeks) Loving all the “mooches” (😄😉) ❤From San Diego, California - hope you get out this way some day!! ☀️👏🏼🦋

[@carolynblaine5319]

Love your earrings, Hannah! And thanks for another awesome vlog!! 🎄

[@stephyy__204]

[@carloschbn]

Wow Hannah, you really know how to do beautiful vlogmas! And this one at night, perfectly highlights the beauty of those lit up Christmas decorations, besides the gorgeous buildings. Your iphone 15Pro really did them justice! What an amazing image quality! I think that visiting and shopping at those fancy London's department stores became a must and even a tradition for people during the Christmas. Thanks Hannah, for this wonderful vlogmas! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🌟🔔🎁🦌🛷🎅🏻⛄❄💂🏻🇬🇧

[@karenglaicar5486]

Thanks for the tour, beautiful decorations. Love the stores. Can't believe all the people on the street, so busy. Thanks again.

[@alisterhoult4795]

Good Afternoon, Hannah, I enjoyed watching your KZbin video, your earrings look great! I think I prefer the Christmas décor at Fortnum and Mason, thank-you, Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.

[@rogertemple7193]

Selfridges is a really great store and i liked seeing Oxford Street there and I'm really enjoying watching your videos and i hope you have a lovely Merry Christmas Thank You Hannah. 🇬🇧🎄⛄🎀⛄🎄🇬🇧

[@EE-ov1wo]

Always enjoy your videos😊 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@sammylotus8941]

Another great vlog!

[@dalefriesen8676]

Yes, my favourite time of the week! Hannah's 10:00 AM upload. Pent up demand? I am also floored at the sight of how busy is Selfridges! And the streets outside too. Its bonkers! I was watching a movie last night. Was that Selfridges, where Rowan Atkinson played a jewellry counter clerk determined to over wrap a certain Christmas gift? Never have I suspected to see Karl Lagerfeld as a Christmas tree bauble holding his millionaire lilac point Birman in his arms. Hannah branded Quality Street! A very entertaining whirlwind tour, Hannah!

[@kelliewilson8221]

Good morning (Australia time). John Lewis looks amazing. The Christmas lights on the streets are just stunning. The one thing I'm glad I bought last Christmas was a pre lit Christmas tree. Still got the colour lights. Love your earrings very pretty. Your very game going on Friday night doing battle with everyone else. Decorations are amazing. Love the Christmas shop. Having it in sections would make it easier. Oh wow Love the snowman and present cake!!!. Another excellent vlog. You make Christmas exciting again. Have a great weekend and will catch you next week ❤

[@nelanigoonawardena9149]

Loved watching this.
