The incredible Christmas house display that’s attracting thousands of people

People on social media are going crazy for a house with the most incredible Christmas lights display.

The house, located on Petitt Lanes in Romford, East London, is owned by the Grange family. While some may see it as a family who simply really enjoys the festive season, there’s a special meaning behind the tradition.

Since moving in 10 years ago, the family has transformed the house into a Christmas Wonderland every year, with people from all over coming to check out the magnificent display.

A TikTok video of the house posted by @ayshiakhan has gained over 915,000 views, with people flooding the comments questioning the location and how much it costs to visit.

One commented: “Do you need to book here?”

The creator of the video responded: “No it’s free but you can leave a donation”

The display is a big job, taking weeks of people putting up frames and fake snow, but in the end, it’s all worth it.

Through the visits the house attracts, the family raises money to donate to Lime Academy Ravensbourne, an all-age special education school Ian Grange’s daughter attends.

Ian Grange said the school is raising funds for a life skills caravan they can place on the school site. He also shared that last year, they raised money for Mitchell’s Miracles, a children’s cancer charity based in Romford.

He told the Romford Recorder: “We just hope that it brings a bit of joy to people over Christmas.

“There’s thousands of people who have come out to look at it so far. Kids are buzzing, and everyone seems to be happy and jolly”

The businessman said all the money raised, as well as his own donations, goes straight to the school and that it’s all about giving back to the community.

He added: “I’m lucky to run my own successful business so that’s why I can afford to do this. If you can give a little back to the community, then it’s nice to do that and make people happy.

“If you’re doing well, which I am, we should be able to all share it and have a bite of the same apple. If you can make that many people happy then it’s fantastic.”
