The Connaught hotel on Mount Street in Mayfair has hosted a special Christmas tree designed by an artist for the past few years. This year's Connaught Christmas tree is designed by Suzy Murphy, who is from east London. The Christmas tree is nine-metre tall British Nordmann Fir, and it contains several white neon dogs, each decreasing in size from the bottom to the top of the tree. The neon dogs are a tribute to sketches of the artist's childhood pet dog, Toby. They symbolise a childhood experience through the pet.
Previous Connaught Christmas trees that I covered on my blog are below:

The Christmas tree will be available to view until the end of the first week in January.
