"Sorry, but you can't hide from it anymore - summer is well and truly over, and planning for Christmas in London 2025 is officially underway. The switch-on date for Covent Garden's festive lights has been revealed, the iconic ice skating rink at Somerset House is almost available to book and you can already buy tickets for this year's Christmas pantos. Now, we know when another of London's most legendary shopping destinations will get its Christmas glow. Carnaby Street teems with people hunting for gifts and stocking fillers once festive season hits, and every year dazzles with a spectacular light installation."
"Two years ago the street was dressed up in kaleidoscopic neon lights and last year it was decorated with giant Christmas crackers and ribbons illuminated by more than 60,000 LED lights. Titled 'Into the Light', 2024's display was entirely powered by green energy and designed to last for at least five years. So, while we don't know exactly what this year's lights will look like, we do know that they'll 'reveal the next chapter of the state-of-the-art installation' with a 'a fresh and enchanting display'. More details to follow soon."
