  • Visitor Information
Christmas Trees: The Christmas Forest, IslingtonOffering an urban forest on eight farm-style sites around London, the Christmas Forest
is London's largest independent "treetailer" ensuring that Londoners
can enjoy their tree-browsing experience with their conscience appeased.
For every tree that is sold, a donation is made to Tree Aid to plant
and care for a new tree in their Forests for Food project in Ethiopia.
The Christmas Forest is also saving on 'tree miles' by sourcing
home-grown firs from special farms and sustainable plantations in the UK
rather than flying them all the way from Scandinavia. Four different
varieties are available, including the traditional aromatic Norway
Spruce (from ?9.50 for 3ft to ?100 for 12ft) and the non-drop Nordmann,
Fraser and Noble Firs (from ?20 for 3ft to ?130 for 12ft). The Christmas
Forest brings the magic of visiting a country farm to the city and,
once you've chosen the right tree, you can add a few more homely festive
touches by shopping for wreaths, lights, mistletoe, holly, stands, logs
for the fire and even special entwined reindeer sculptures.
