PEPPA Pig wowed the crowds as she helped officially launch Christmas at Kings Mall Shopping Centre at the weekend.

The children's TV star was joined by brother George to help Father Christmas push the button and switch on the Hammersmith centre's festive lights on Saturday (3/12).

Young visitors got the chance to meet the pair and also tell Santa what presents they hope to get for Christmas while prizes were won with an hourly tombola between 12pm and 3pm.

Free balloons and mince pies were handed out and a live choir belted out Yuletide carols and songs to launch King Mall's festive programme.

It includes offering car parking for £2 for 2 hours for shoppers.
