- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ธ.ค. 2023
- 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!

No Friday is complete without Hannah.
Facts
Agree!
Ditto!
Definitely
Truest true ❤
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 🎉. ❤
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😊
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.
The street lighting just blows me away - amazing. And the shop decorations were lovely. London looks amazing at Xmas time.
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 🎅🎅🎅
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.
Does London have the best Christmas lights in the world? Yes. ❤😊
I second this! In fact there’s no place like London at Christmas - period!!
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.

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.
We all hate them, some people are pushing to make them illegal.
On another vloggers site I saw they have them in New York as well They are sooo out of place in both cities
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. 🙄
Another great one Hannah! Thanks for braving the crowds and showing us the lights! Everything is so beautiful there.
So beautiful! Thank you for taking us along! P.S. you really are not annoying.
Another fun festive offering from Hannah. Good to see Hamleys still going, I went there as a child many decades ago
I honestly think London is the best at Christmas all the lights and decorations are so cool. Great vlog as always Hannah.
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
Your so right
Biscuits snap and cookies crumble
Also I love all the evenings Christmas lights
Germany and France have great Christmas decorations
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!
Hi, I live in AZ. I would love to look at that site. Can you share that? 😊
Holy smokes, Hannah! So many people and noise! No thanks. LOL!! I like the peaceful sides of cities better...please show those as well!
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
I hate those gnome things too 🤣🤣 lovely sparkly vid ❤
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.!❤❤🌲🌲🌲🎄🎄🩷
Such a beautifully presented video!!🙂... London by night.. at Christmas?!?😍😍😍... Looks stunning!! ... As do you, Hannah!!😊
Awesome!!! I was waiting for this!!!
Christmas in London is just so beautiful
Regents Street is absolute magic!! ✨
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. 😊
YES Hannah, London has the best Christmas decorations and vibe in the world!! Can't wait to be back in a couple of weeks for our annual visit for the New Year. Thanks for your wonderful videos. We are weekly fans. Happy Christmas!! Norman and Tray
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!
Another great video, totally agree re prices, if you sell something it should be mandatory to show the price!
I Love your new earrings Hannah, they SPARKLE just like your Personality 💎💎😁
NO One does Christmas stores better than Hannah , LOVE from Pennsylvania ❤ all the best in 2024 and of course Merry Christmas
Year 2 of Vlogmas wouldn't be run up to Christmas without you Hannah..
"I didn't know hairy balls were related to Christmas"!😂😂😂😂You crack me up! Love your videos!❤
lol… ‘I didn’t know hairy balls were related to Christmas’. Yes Hannah, hairy balls can be all year. 🤣
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 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️
I agree, there has been hardly anything to do with the meaning of Christmas..
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.
Got my ears pierced there on my lunch hour from C&A when I was 16. 🎄
Great video 🥰🙌
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!
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!!!
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!!!
Hi Hannah! Thanks for taking the time to film Christmas at Selfridges! I’ve never been to London in the Winter, it’s mostly been in the Spring and early Autumn. Selfridges is always my “must go to” when Im in town. Their outside windows looked great, and their Christmas Ornaments?? Meh. Only exception would be for me is the Queen Elizabeth 2, the soft version….so so charming! Get some sleep, enjoy your weekend and thanks again! 💖🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸
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 😂😘
That was so much fun, Hannah. I can't wait to see this in person. I'm just loving it all.🎉
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 🎁🎄
I think you need go to Vienna, looks awesome too 🎉
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.
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!
London does have the best Christmas lights and decorations! Love the Christmas vlogs! ❤❤
love your sparkly earrings!....and you!....thank you for doing these ....they are wonderful
The razzle dazzle lights everywhere would love to walking those streets right now!!! Thanks Hannah!
❤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!!!
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.
Thanks Hannah
I have been watching since Covid.
My husband of 35 years died last year and your vlogs bring me comfort
Merry Christmas ❤
Thanks for watching and sending you lots of love x
"Look at the state of me", says she. That's never been a problem, Hannah.
Great video, the colours are marvellous, I love a really traditional tree with the baubles we’ve had for years. Have you been in Sostrene Grene & if you have do you like it? Many thanks Hannah xxx
Not been!
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
Fabulous! The scenes from the street were bonkers. Less for the crowds and more the number of camera “crews”. John Lewis had great displays, but I am puzzled by the choice of a Venus Fly Trap/Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors as a “theme”. Very much enjoyed the cinema theme in Selfridges. Seeing all the chocolate counters was an absolute treat! Now I’ll have to try a Quality Street tin. Thank you, Hannah for taking us along with you on these tours. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
You're brave, I hated going to Oxford St let alone during Christmas!
Come al solito, video splendido, e, pieno di luci. Bellissimo Tutto.!!!! 🎅🎅🎄🎄🧚♂️🧚♂️🍾🍾🥂🥂💐💐💯💯💯💯💯🇮🇹
Good Afternoon, Hannah, I enjoyed watching your TH-cam 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.
Love your Christmas vlogs Hannah, watch them every year ❤
Expertly delivered again Hannah! I travel to London twice a week for work, the lights are stunning but way too many people for me!
Oh wow. It's spectacular. Happy Holidays. Cheers.
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!! ☀️👏🏼🦋
That was lovely! Thank you!
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 👏👏
I loved “some people think I’m annoying” giggle giggle. The English are able to make the best out of most situations. 🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Hannah. Really enjoyed looking around with you and appreciate you navigating the Christmas crowds for us xx
So excited thanks for share excellent information merry Christmas happy new year
Happy weekend! Cheers.
"I didn't know hairy balls were related to Christmas!" I'm dying, Hannah -you're too funny!
Thanks for the tour, beautiful decorations. Love the stores. Can't believe all the people on the street, so busy. Thanks again.
Christmasing is Hard Work. Finding that Right Thing, store after store after store after store. low blood sugar, stagnant traffic, tired aching feet, Let's Do It Again Tomorrow !!! Christmasing is Hard Work. LOL Ho Ho Ho the Streets of London are Magical along with our Fairy Hostess. Hannah. !! Happy Christmas to All !!
I missed this video! Glad to see it now. Thank you for creating it!
I would definitely say London has the best Christmas lights. Wow, Hannah, those are the biggest crowds on the streets I think I have ever seen in one of your videos. The colorful pedal cars (not sure what they are really called) and the people whizzing by on bikes is really something. Be careful out there! Love the earrings, by the way.
Thanks Hannah I can't imagine how much work is involved in editing each of your vlogs and I really appreciate having the chance to see London at Christmas.
A chuckle and smile on my face within seconds. Always a delight watch.
🌻✨
thanks for taking on the crowds for us!
Very festive…
Very enjoyable
Thank you 🛍️
I’m not biased Hannah and I can truly say coming from Australia that London has the best Christmas lights!!!! ❤
Those cakes, sweets and Lola’s cupcakes looks SO yummy !!!!
When I stayed in London my hotel was right off Oxford Street, loved it.
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!!! 🎄🌟🔔🎁🦌🛷🎅🏻⛄❄💂🏻🇬🇧
Loved watching this.
Thank you for this magical vlog! Absolutely loved it! Watching from Canada! ❤🎄
Thank you for your wonderful video tours … especially this time of the year … a cup of lovely spice tea , ginger biscuit and your Christmas shopping ….🎉🎉🎉
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.
🇬🇧🎄⛄🎀⛄🎄🇬🇧
Another great vlog!
Hannah, Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Love to your nieces. From an ex Londoner now based in Lahore, Pakistan...
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!
Thank you Hannah for your time love the tour& ANGELS!! 👍🎁
Another lovely video!
Love this! So the quality street thing is every year😍
Thanks for doing that when it was so very busy and loud. Merry Christmas.
Oh my gosh !!!!
I almost spat my tea out when you asked if hairy balls are a thing. 🤣🤣
Love your earrings, Hannah! And thanks for another awesome vlog!! 🎄
Thank you for showing the beverages !!!
I always save your vlogs to the end on Friday because they re my faves. LOVE Christmas in London!
