Selfridges London Christmas: 10 photos that capture the magic of Selfridges' dazzling Disney display

Once upon a time, in the heart of London, stood a shop that was over 100 years old. The shop was filled with designer goodies, ranging from handbags and dresses to trinkets and toys...

But this year, the shop, known as Selfridges, has had a magical makeover just in time for Christmas, and passers-by couldn’t believe their eyes!

Alright, I’ll stop with the fairy tale prose, but seriously, guys, Selfridges Christmas window display is the stuff of dreams.

Each window is decked out in a special Disney theme from Beauty and the Beast to Winnie the Pooh and 101 Dalmatians.

Even better, the magical shrubbery that surrounds each window plays bespoke music for each display, transporting you into a Disney dreamland.

If it weren’t for the black cabs and red buses going past, I’d have thought I was in Disneyland Paris - that’s how good it is.

I just popped there on my lunch break (office day perks) and was amazed by the number of people standing around and marvelling at the displays.

The Peter Pan captivated the attention of a mother and daughter duo so much that they told me to stand and watch as a cleverly designed Tinkerbell projection knocked things over. ‘It’s pretty special, ’ said the mum.

Inside, the Disney motif continues with giant glimmering Mickey Mouse-shaped disco balls and twinkling Christmas trees. Downstairs, there is a Christmas shop and even a Disney cafe serving a whole variety of themed treats!

Even the mannequins have been decked out with Mickey Mouse ears for the festive season - ‘tres chic!

Sadly, I was on a time limit, so I couldn’t hang around to watch the light display, which runs daily from 5-9pm outside the department store - but you best believe I’ll be back!

Selfridges' Christmas display left me beaming from ear to ear and definitely made me feel a sense of magic. That experience would be tenfold as a child. Seriously get yourself down there, you won’t be sorry.
