Eye-popping projections saw Kenwood wrapped up like a giant Christmas present as a new festive light trail opened for visitors.
For Christmas at Kenwood, designers have installed thousands of led lights to create an outdoor illuminated walk through the grounds on Hampstead Heath – painting a rainbow of colours in the trees and an "avenue of light" and "fairy walk" along the paths.
Friday saw the first visitors walk through the winter wonderland, which includes an atmospheric soundscape, lasers, a fire garden, illuminated woodland animals and projections on both sides of the English Heritage mansion.
Families can take a pitstop for refreshments at the bar before continuing on the trail, which loops around the back of Kenwood, through the gardens to a finale at the front of the house.
Christmas at Kenwood runs until January 9 with tickets starting at £21.50 for adults and £14 for children. A shuttle bus is operating from Golders Green and East Finchley tube stations.
