It’s beginning to look a lot like…
Well, not quite yet, but the thought may be flickering at the back of your mind – and when did it ever hurt to start planning early? Simply treat this article as one of your early reminders that in under two months, London will be bathed in the lights shining across the city and the Christmas trees will appear on every square in the city.
Carnaby Street is famous for rocking out a masterclass display every time around, and loves to surprise those flocking to their street each festive season by switching up the design each year. And, now mere weeks away, they’ve no doubt got a plan up their sleeves for a beautiful set of Christmas lights to paint across the canvas of their space once more.
When will the Carnaby Street Christmas lights switch on?
Carnaby Street has confirmed that its grand switch on will take place on November 6wasting no time from when the clocks go back and the calendar strikes the penultimate month of 2025.
What will the display be this year?
It’s still anyone’s guess as to what the new design will look like, but last year, Carnaby revealed their LED lights would be reused for the next five years as their display evolves over the time period. Promising in a press release to “(blend) festive tradition with the modern charm of Soho to reveal the next chapter of the destination’s state-of-the-art Christmas lights installation”, we can expect more details to follow on what the lights will look like.
2024’s Christmas decorations in Carnaby were named ‘Into The Light’, with the display featuring glowing Christmas crackers, ribbons and more above the heads of the festive revellers walking through the area.
Carnaby Street will be lit up by Christmas lights from November 6.
