In an attempt to get myself into the spirit of Christmas, I decided to go along to Taste of Christmas. It’s a bit of a trek across town for me, but in all honesty, I think ExCel is a much nicer exhibition centre than either Earls Court or Olympia. So, why not… Friday...

And, it has a couple of large multi-storey car parks which link directly to the department store by covered walkway. ...
