See The Christmas Lights
What would Christmas shopping be like without seeing the Christmas Lights? Oxford Street has always been known to have the most extravagant lights at Christmas. This year is no different. This year’s theme in Oxford Street is ‘It’s the Love You Give’. With 300,000 dazzling LED lights and over 5,000 twinkling LED stars, prepare to be dazzled!
Regent Street is the place where the Christmas lights’ tradition started back in 1954. They usually have a mesmerising angelic design. This year’s theme is the returning to the capital ‘The Spirit of Christmas’. You can also enjoy the musical performances in the street in the evenings.
Bond Street had an enchanted peacock-inspired theme last year. We are looking forward to this year’s theme, which is inspired by The Imperial State Crown. Carnaby Street is having an exclusive look this year as the shopping district is celebrating 25 years of the Carnaby seasonal lights displays. The theme is called ‘Carnaby Celebrates’ and combines the best 14 themes they have had over the years. The installation includes a dazzling globe surrounded by floating planets, glittering Rolling Stones tongues, neon lyrics from Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, underwater scenes, huge robins, a giant snowman, and palm trees.
