Christmas in London is one of the most festive sights in the world; with the famous tree in Trafalgar Square, to the Christmas lights in Soho, to the iconic bridges covered in snow. There's nothing better than seeing your home town dressed up and ready for the Winter months.

With that in mind, we thought we'd gather together some of the best Christmas photos of London through years gone by, to get you in the mood for celebrating and give you a little taste of nostalgia.
