Daniel Clarke's ultimate advent calendar counts down to Christmas at St James's Market

This Christmas, an advent calendar "like no other" will be unveiled at St James's Market in London.

Written By:

Created by illustrator Daniel Clarke, the larger-than-life installation will transform the Pavilion into a stylised cityscape filled with famous London landmarks, where every morning a new door will open to reveal a new festive scene.

To complement this Christmas centrepiece, a digital advent calendar will be launched on St James's London's Instagram where each day throughout December you'll get the chance to win a special prize. Behind every "virtual window" will be an exclusive gift from the area's unique retailers, restaurants, art galleries and hotels.

You can get involved from 1 December until Christmas Eve. Go to www.stjameslondon.co.uk to find out more. Or pop along to the Pavilion to see Daniel's work in action. All images courtesy of Tian Khee Siong.
