Every set of London lights has something to make them unique, and Carnaby’s set just seems to outdo themselves each year with a new design arriving in the first week of November to shine out over the city.
And right on cue, the shimmering lights of Carnaby Street will receive their grand switch-on from November 7with their ‘Into the Light’ display shining a golden glow out over the area.
‘Into The Light’ display at Carnaby 2024
Landing in Carnaby at the start of next month, ‘Into The Light’ is a completely new display of 60,000 LED energy-efficient lights that make up a number of six-metre sculptures across the area. The lights will be re-used for the next five Christmases, though the design will not necessarily be the same each time as the technology means they can be adapted. It ensures that the lights are more sustainable while still be able to excite and deliver a new display each time!
Visitors can also expect to see star-shaped features across the entrance to Carnaby Street and the installation stretching over to Kingly Court with cascades of light across the balconies turning it into a festive paradise.
Speaking on the news Michelle McGrath, Executive Director at Shaftesbury Capital, said: “London’s West End is globally renowned for its spectacular festive lighting displays, so we’re proud to unveil this ground-breaking, immersive lighting installation in Carnaby Street; ‘Into The Light’, which delivers a new first-of-its-kind approach to Christmas lights in London embodying thoughtful and contemporary design.
“The addition of ‘Into The Light’ to Carnaby Street, already renowned as one of London’s must-visit Christmas destinations, will add to the street’s appeal as a festive hotspot for shopping and dining by captivating Londoners, tourists, and visitors with its dynamic light displays.”
Carnaby’s ‘Into The Light’ Christmas light display will switch on from November 7. More information on the switch-on plus events at Carnaby during the festive season can be found on their website.
