The City of London’s tallest Christmas tree returns

Thank you to everyone who joined us to kick off the festive season in true Eastern City style at One Bishopsgate Plaza, where the Christmas magic shone brighter than ever. On Thursday, 20 November 2025 from 5.30pm, we lit up our spectacular 67-foot Eastern City Christmas Tree — switched on by our TV celebrity guest Dermot O’Leary — adorned with hundreds of twinkling lights and glowing snowflakes.

This dazzling musical display marked the start of the holidays in unforgettable fashion. Guests enjoyed mulled wine, mince pies, and a show-stopping performance from the Revelation Avenue Choir, while stilt walkers and street performers brought sparkle to the streets.

Enjoy free daily festive light show performances

There will be free daily light shows at the Eastern City tree, where dazzling illuminations dance in time with music for a truly magical moment.

A magical Wreath at Pan Pacific London

Alongside the City of London’s tallest Christmas tree, you could also enjoy one of the world’s largest festive wreaths at Pan Pacific London Hotel — a beautiful and eye-catching highlight of the holiday season at One Bishopsgate Plaza. The wreath created a stunning focal point, adding even more festive charm to the plaza and offering visitors the perfect spot to pause, take in the decorations, and soak up the Christmas atmosphere.

Its scale and vibrant seasonal design made it a memorable feature for anyone passing through or visiting the hotel. Whether you stopped for a quick photo, admired it on your way to an event, or simply enjoyed it as part of your festive day out, the wreath added an extra touch of magic to the celebrations at One Bishopsgate Plaza.
