You have caught this busy time of year very well Paul. I was on Regent Street last summer and it seemed very busy to me then, I don't think I could cope at Christmas time! Thanks for your comments on my posting also.

Apart from being a Londoner (as I think I have said before) I was regularly attending meetings just off Oxford St until a couple of years ago so I know it well - and you have really captured it - great observation piece really well painted. By the way thanks for your comments on my Pots - agree with them and will include shadows in Pots 2 when I get round to it

A great busy scene. The style is perfect for the light and bustle.

Lovely lively and atmospheric painting, Paul, I like it. I am going to take a look at your latest postings, missed a lot because we were on holiday for a few days. I had to watch about 30 pages when we came back!

Very well executed, great backlight. Glad I'm not there though!!

I feel the old legs aching just at the prospect of it..... Thank God for the internet so far as Christmas shopping is concerned..... but you capture the experience well.

Thanks for the comments........London is brilliant, London is a pain, but any family who can put up with the crowds will love Christmas shopping in the West End

Huge crowds visit London at Christmas with all the big stores around Oxford Street and Regents Street putting on fantastic window displays. Unfortunately, with massive crowds of shoppers you get rudeness and a lack of consideration from others...but, if you keep a smile on your face and rise above it all, Christmas shopping in London can be a lot of fun.
