The start of Wanstead Christmas events takes place on Friday with the traditional turning on of the lights at the tree on George Green. People are invited to start turning up at 4.15 on Friday.
A digest of the weekend’s Christmas events will follow on this website on Friday.

And if you weren’t there, here’s the atmosphere boiled down into just five seconds.
I am dreaming of a white van xmas.
Is it my imagination or is the tree on the squiff? Looks dreadful.
Lights on high street very disappointing – look like most retailers given Christmas a miss. Can anyone tell me how much costs were for putting lights up outside their premises?
