Hotels near Christmas Trees: The Christmas Forest, Finsbury Park

Offering 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 the drylands of Africa - to date they've planted 128,114 trees. The Christmas Forest is also saving on 'tree miles' by sourcing home-grown firs from special farms and sustainable plantations in the UK. Four different varieties are available, including the traditional aromatic Norway Spruce, the non-drop Nordmann Fir, the Fraser Firs and Noble Firs. 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. The Christmas Forest stores can be found in Richmond, Putney, Dulwich, Islington, Stoke Newington, Kensal Green and Ealing.
