What To Expect

Strand

The Strand can lay more than one claim to fame with regard to illumination. The Savoy Theatre was the first public building in the world to be permanently lit by electricity, and the Victoria Embankment had the world's first ever street lights. The Strand didn't actually have Christmas lights until 2015, but since then, stretching from the world famous Trafalgar Square Christmas tree to the beautiful St Mary le Strand Church, they have been extremely popular.
