"Carnaby Street does Christmas lights a little differently. Instead of rehashing the same old show (or wastefully creating a new one every year), it has an adaptable display which involves thousands of tin LEDs built into sculptures that twinkle high above the street itself. The display debuted last year, but was created with sustainability in mind so will return every winter until 2030."
"Carnaby's 2025 display is titled 'Into the Light', with the lights taking the shape of huge Christmas crackers and stars. They've also changed colour, adding neon purples, blues, pinks, and oranges to last year's gold and bringing 'a welcome splash of colour to the dark winter skies above central London'. The iconic Carnaby Street arches will also be lit up this year."
London offers hundreds of Christmas lights displays, many extraordinary, making it impossible to see them all. Carnaby Street uses an adaptable sustainable display of thousands of tiny LEDs built into sculptures that twinkle above the street. The installation debuted last year and will return every winter until 2030. The 2025 display, 'Into the Light', features huge Christmas crackers and stars in neon purples, blues, pinks, and oranges alongside last year's gold. The Carnaby Street arches will also be lit. Some viewers found the minimalist approach less Christmassy and lacking a 'wow factor', while others value its respite from traditional Christmas kitsch.
