Now this is going to cover just the lights of central London that I saw. On about a 7 mile walk, according to my steps count on my phone, the lights of London were gorgeous to this rural Californian. Since Covid-19 required another mini-lockdown before the full holiday season, November meant no museums, but the ability to take some walks around the city. Here are the lights, and their locations around Central London.

Covent Garden:
