Twickenham town centre was lit up this weekend in a Christmas display funded by local businesses.
Discover Twickenham BID organised this year’s decorations which brought together over 350 local vendors for Saturday’s switch on (November 21).
Though the event was not as packed as usual – with lockdown restrictions preventing the annual Twickenham market – spirits were nonetheless high.
Mayor of LB Richmond Upon Thames, Cllr Geoff Acton, who switched on the lights, said: “It’s a joy to see the town lit up so beautifully, this year of all years. Well done to all the local businesses that have worked together to make this happen”
