Young and old enjoyed the ceremony and street market

A large crowd gathered in the car-park on Chiswick High Road for the annual Christmas Lights switch on, which included a food and craft market for the first time this year.

There was carol singing, and live music outside the George IV pub, and a special appearance from Fuller's dray horses, Pride and Griffin.
