CHRISTMAS IN LONDON:
A CHOCOLATE FILMS PROJECT

What city evokes Christmas more than London. This is the home of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. But it’s also the land of wassailing, pantomimes, Trafalgar Square’s Christmas tree and much much more. Over time we’re collecting a range of perspectives of Christmas in the city: from the glistening festive atmosphere of the West End, the deep history of our city’s traditions and to the people whose lives are made more complex or lonely in the festive season. Keep an eye out for this year’s film!
