See the Carnaby Christmas lights in Soho

Nothing signals the start of the festive period more than the iconic Carnaby Christmas light switch-on, which is taking place on 8 November. The lights will stay on until early January, so there's plenty of time to see them.

As the switch is flipped, the world-famous Carnaby Street will be transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland illuminated by a spectacular display of Christmas lights. The event promises a magical atmosphere, with live music, entertainment, and the opportunity to explore the shops, boutiques and restaurants of this trendy London neighbourhood.
