Last week London St Pancras International unveiled its 2017 Christmas tree, a statuesque flower tree created by the station’s very own luxury florist, Moyses Stevens. Bringing a festive flourish to the famous station, the hand-crafted 47ft floral sensation is made from over 15,000 flowers and took over 1,151 expert man hours to bring to life.
The tree’s branches are interlaced with roses; hydrangeas; delicate anemones; amaryllis, orchids; and dianthus; whilst pretty petals and pine cones are strung around the tree in lieu of traditional lights. The stunning creation will take pride of place on the station concourse, gleefully greeting commuters, Londoners, and tourists alike until 3rd January 2018.
