Tacky Light Tour, West End, Richmond


A drive-through front garden of festive lights welcoming all with 'Happy Birthday Jesus' and 'Christmas Rocks' signage and a chuffing train, nodding pink deer and plenty more delights... then onto a lakeside home whose lights reflected in the still water, with the odd duck bedazzled below.

We thought these couldn't be topped but then we reached Ashbury Court and had to step out of the car to savour the full-on insanity that is No. 9604 and 9606. A Santa's toy workshop in the florida room aka conservatory, multiple nativities, aglow pink pigs and a giant tree gleaming with fairy lights up in to the night sky and hordes of folk strolling amongst the flower beds admiring the penguin who popped out of the post box, amongst the cast-off festive lights donated to the family, who for 37 years have embraced this electric love-in to festive cheer.

Have yet to see the location that won the, 'most likely to be seen from space award'!
