There is no mightier sight than that of the beautiful Christmas lights being strung up across the nation. From our little corner of the world, in Wimbledon, to the bustling streets of Oxford Circus we count down our top 5 Christmas lights switch on events. Perfect for you, the family and friends.
Oxford Circus
Whether you’re travelling to see the lights or do a spot of early bird shopping the streets of Oxford Circus are just as magnificent to behold by day as they are by night.

If you’d rather enjoy the Christmas lights in a more relaxed, cosier setting then head down to The Royal Exchange where this years’ lighting ceremony also coincided with the grand opening of Fortnum & Mason.
