A spectacular display of fireworks launched from the roof of the Centre Court shopping centre marked the start of Christmas in Wimbledon.
Shops, schools and even the town’s football club got involved with the Winter Wonderland event last Thursday which attracted visitors from far and wide to celebrate the start of the festive season in Wimbledon.
The evening began with a Christmas parade featuring players from AFC Wimbledon, staff from the New Wimbledon Theatre and pupils from Haslemere and Wimbledon Chase primary schools.
A stage in the piazza then featured live music and dance while visitors had the chance to do some early Christmas shopping at stalls filing the town centre.
