The Connaught hotel in Mayfair has worked with an artist each year (with the exception of last year) for the past several years in order to design their Christmas tree on Mount Street. The Connaught hotel's Christmas tree this year is designed by Annie Morris and Idris Khan. It features a Nordmann Fir that stands at nine meters. On three focal points of the tree, Morris' most famous work of stackable shapes is included, and each one is made of painted wood board and lit with lights. At the top of the tree is another of Morris's motifs, the "flower woman". Khan's contribution to the Christmas tree is the base, which shows the text "Merry Christmas" translated and superimposed numerous times.
Previous Connaught Christmas trees that I covered on my blog are below:
- 2020 (Cancelled)

The Christmas tree will be on display until mid-January.
