PINES AND NEEDLES

Pines and Needles was founded by Josh and Sam Lyle back in 1995. It started when the brothers came up with the brainwave of loading an old horsebox with Christmas trees from their family farm in Scotland. They then took them down to London to sell. In 2016, the company hit the headlines for supplying a tree to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the first time the couple had been seen in public.

COLUMBIA ROAD FLOWER MARKET

If you want to soak up a bit of London history as you browse for the right tree then head down to Columbia Road Flower Market. Open every Sunday 8 am until 3 pm, Columbia Road is in the East End, sitting on the edge of the city. Don’t miss Christmas Wednesdays – for four Wednesday evenings before Christmas Day the shops will be open from 5pm to 9pm.
