It starts on November 12, the same night as Covent Garden switches on its new Christmas lights.  Designed by celebrated fashion and film production designer, Michael Howells, the new scheme takes inspiration from the mythology of mistletoe and Covent Garden's world-renowned reputation as a special place to meet friends, family and loved ones. The iconic, 22 feet tall silver reindeer will also be returning to the East Piazza, ensuring this year's switch on moment will once again have a stunning backdrop.
Contemporary acapella group After Party will be entertaining the crowds with an exclusive set from 6pm, which features everything from Taylor Swift to Christmas classics.

London Shell Co.'s Winter Basque Supperclubs on The Regent's Canal near Camden


London Shell Co. is back for the winter with their supper clubs on a boat on the Regent's Canal - and due to the popularity of the previous nights, they've got a bigger boat, the My Fair Lady (Add your own Jaws joke here).  Working in partnership with Wright Brothers, this time they've serving up a Basque menu, celebrating the seafood of San Sebastian and the mysterious wines of the Pyrenees.  Tickets are just £60 - and selling fast.


"Pop up seafood lovers London Shell Co. have teamed up with their fish supplier Wright Brothers to celebrate the food and wine of the Basque Country.  A four course tasting menu with paired wines will be served aboard the My Fair Lady of Walker’s Quay, as she cruises from Camden Lock to Little Venice and back.  
Hot off the back of a sold out October run, which focused on Italian pairings, London Shell Co. are celebrating the seafood of San Sebastian and the mysterious wines of the Pyrenees.  
Wright Brothers dedication to supplying sustainable oysters, fish and seafood of the highest quality is unrivalled and London Shell Co. are delighted to team up with their team on this exciting new project.  
Through a love of seafood and the indigenous wine varieties of Italy London Shell Co. was first created by North London & sibling duo Leah and Harry in September as a three-night pop up aboard the Peagreen on the Regent’s canal.  The first dates sold out instantly and it soon became clear that they were onto something.  Oscar Humphreys, a good friend from university days joined the team to the lead the kitchen after 6 years in some of London’s top restaurants: Barrafina, Pollen Street Social, River Café… The five week run in October was a complete sell out earning four star reviews and repeat custom.  November sees a new adventure as the team expand and take their diners on a trip up and down the Regent’s Canal.  Sticking to the same principals as before the evening will consist of a tasting menu with carefully paired wines by Harry Lobek, previously sommelier at Pollen Street Social.  
The evenings are fun and informal with a focus on celebrating unusual yet delicious food and wine in an incredible social environment."
