Giant snowmen invade London!

I have been meaning to share this photo with you guys for weeks now, sorry for the tardiness. But that Christmas is approaching fast it is even more appropriate! This year Carnaby Street in London (which is opposite the HOK London office) have surpassed themselves with their Christmas decorations – I absolutely love them and have spent many a few minutes standing in the street marvelling at them! It’s not often you get tasteful and funky Christmas decorations.

For those of you who are not UK-based you may have heard of Carnaby Street has it was was popular hippies and Mods in the 1960s. During that period many independent fashion boutiques, and designers such as Mary Quant located on the street as well as various underground music bars such as the Roaring Twenties in the surrounding streets. Bands such as The Beatles and the Rolling Stones appeared in the area to work (the legendary Marquee club was round the corner in Wardour street), shop, and socialize, it became one of London’s coolest destination associated with the Swinging Sixties (thanks Wikipedia for that)
