Oxford Street Christmas Lights

Oxford Street is one of the most iconic areas for London’s Christmas lights, and for good reason, given that a hefty proportion of us Londoners will see them lighting our way as we do battle for Yuletide gifts. As is now tradition, the lights this year are made from eco-friendly materials, including LED lights and recycled plastic. Featuring over 300,000 individual lights – including 5000 twinkling stars – they shine from 4pm to midnight daily until early January. Be sure to look out for Oxford Street’s ‘Big Day Of Joy’ on December 7; staged in support of charity partner Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), it will feature street performances, seasonal menus and in-store activities around the area.
