Norwegian Wood arrives at Trafalgar Square
A 50-year-old Norwegian Spruce has made its way to London from Norway to stand ion Trafalgar Square once again this year.
Each year Oslo donates a tree to the people of London as a mark of thanks for their support during the Second World War. The first was sent to Britain in 1946.
This year’s tree, a 50-metre specimen, known as the Queen of the Forest, was felled by the Mayor of Oslo Fabian Stang, alongside Westminster’s Lord Mayor, Sarah Richardson. The tree made a 700-mile journey by lorry and boat to arrive in London on December 2.
