London Christmas lights really light up the capital's streets during the bleak winter months. Christmas in London just wouldn’t be Christmas without the stunning array of decorative lights that adorn the streets throughout the festive season, bringing light and colour to London throughout the winter.
Switched on for 2007The switching on of Christmas lights in the West End have become landmark occasions in London each year, drawing crowds in their thousands on separate nights in the approach to Christmas. This year the Regent Street, Oxford Street and Bond Street Christmas lights will be lit in three separate, free events, guaranteeing festive fun for visitors to the capital’s premier shopping district.
Christmas Deluxe at Covent GardenThough there are no Christmas Lights being set up in Covent Garden for 2007, the Piazza will still be looking deliciously festive. It will be transformed into Christmas Deluxe, a wintery wonderland designed by film set designers which will host aerial performances, storytelling, a food market, entertainment and more. Taking place between Thursday 15th November 2007 and 24th December 2007, Christmas Deluxe looks set to be a seriously festive affair.
Brighten up your Christmas shoppingMake an occasion out of your Christmas shopping and visit the West End on winter evenings to shop under the glow of festive lights. Christmas lights will be lit throughout the run up to Christmas on Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street, adding seasonal flavour to the world-famous London shopping district. The lights will stay up into the New Year, so you can make the most of the January sales whilst still enjoying festive decorations.
Trafalgar SquareThe annual Trafalgar Square Christmas tree lighting ceremony takes place on Thursday 6th December in which a tree given by the people of Norway will be lit in an enchanting, historic ceremony. Trafalgar Square will be a haven of Christmas spirit throughout the season with lights, decoration and free carol singing, taking place throughout December 2007.
Christmas lights in London will remain lit throughout Christmas and the New Year.
