Christmas Lights in London

Christmas lightings in London are always a delight. Read below for a selection of the streets chosen by CN Traveller you should visit in London during Christmas to get the most out of the Christmas festivities and atmosphere! #london #christmas #lights Covent Garden: Always a favourite among central London Christmas lights displays, Covent Garden isn't going to stop this year. As well as an impressive 115,000 lights spread across the main market building, the huge 60 foot Christmas tree is adorned with 30,000 festive lights. Regent Street: In its usual style, Regent Street is decked in twinkling lights running through Oxford Circus, St James and Waterloo Place. This year 300,000 LED lights were handcrafted to form 45 spirit-shaped displays, creating a warm canopy over the neighbourhood. Bond Street Bond Street: Thanks to a mix of private in-store events and late-night openings, the Bond Street switch-on was a dream come true for anyone wanting to splash a little festive cash at the same time as taking in some illuminations. In previous years, the street lit up with lights in the shape of white peacock feathers, a homage to men in the late 18th century known as 'peacocks' for deliberately strutting along the street in their extravagant clothing. Oxford Street: The street that most locals usually avoid like the plague becomes an attractive place to head for one time of the year, when Christmas lights give Europe’s busiest shopping street a heart-warming glow. This year, more than 1 million LED lights drape down the street in a starry display. The installation is 100 per cent recyclable and will be used in the street's future festivities.
