Where is baby Jesus?

Sir: I would like to ask Spectator readers for their help — has anyone seen a nativity scene in London this Christmas? I don’t doubt that there are several in the country, but any sightings in our secular megalopolis would cheer me up no end. I regularly cycle around the city, keeping my eyes peeled for baby Jesus, and so far have only spotted one, in a funeral director’s shop window on Lambs Conduit Street. Mary Wakefield
