CHRISTMAS AT LIBERTY'S LONDON

On a wet Wednesday evening this week I took a trip over to Liberty Department Store just off Regent Street in London's West End. It's a place I've always been fond of as I actually worked there for a few years when I first moved to London. The mock Tudor frontage that we see here in Great Marlborough Street was added on to the already existing building in Regent Street back in 1924 during a mini Tudor revival, although the owner and founder Arthur Liberty didn't quite live long enough to see the completion of both buildings together. Amazingly much of the more familiar Tudor frontage and interiors was built from the timbers of two ships. Of course at this time of the year many of the customers can be seen heading for the fourth floor, otherwise known as The Christmas Department. A shame though that I was forced to erase the true festive sounds of the music in the Christmas Department. I think it takes away a lot of the Liberty atmosphere. I guess I need to try and find some sound effects that reflect a busy Store if I'm ever going to film inside a shop again. But it was a pleasure visiting my old workplace so close to the run up to Christmas. Christmas in mid November doesn't quite do it for me.
