OUT OF OFFICE

GALLIANO TREE AT CLARIDGE’SIn a glamorous grab for attention, Claridge’s has unveiled an extraordinary Christmas tree designed by John Galliano, Dior’s chief designer. An installation that evokes a “frozen twist on tradition”, it’s a tropical tree with a snow leopard, dragonflies and parrots, more in keeping with the hotel’s Art Deco style than Father Christmas. Well worth a look. 49 Brook Street W1K 4HR, www.claridges.co.uk.VINTAGE JUMBLE SALE AT THE FELLOWFancy a vintage shopping spree before Christmas?
