The image depicts a covered pedestrian thoroughfare within Hay's Galleria, located in the London Borough of Southwark, London, United Kingdom, during a festive period. The perspective is from within an arched brick and stone passageway, looking outwards towards a wider open area. Centrally positioned beyond the immediate archway is a large, illuminated Christmas tree, heavily decorated with numerous small lights, colorful baubles, and prominent white star-shaped ornaments. Suspended above the tree from the ceiling of the archway is a large, dark-faced clock, integrated into an extensive circular garland adorned with small, warm lights. This garland extends horizontally to either side, forming a festive arch. The clock indicates approximately 12:40 or 12:45. The immediate archway features a light-colored, vaulted ceiling with modern light fixtures. The left wall of the passage is constructed from light brown brick, forming multiple recessed arches, illuminated by upward-facing wall sconces. The right wall is lighter in color, possibly stone or painted, with vertical strip lighting fixtures and a prominent white sign partially visible, displaying "HAY'S GALLERIA," "Security," "WC," and "Fitness First." Seven individuals are present. In the foreground, on the right side of the passage, a female subject with dark hair, wearing a long dark brown coat and checkered trousers, walks towards the camera. She holds a small, light-colored object near her mouth and appears to be looking towards the left while holding a device in her left hand. Six other individuals are walking away from the camera into the wider area beyond the archway. One male subject in a dark jacket and jeans is prominent on the left, followed by other persons in dark winter attire. The ground is paved with light-colored flagstones or cobblestones. A dark bollard or post stands in the center foreground. In the background, beyond the Christmas tree, other multi-story buildings with varied architectural styles are visible under what appears to be an overcast sky.
