1. Carnaby Street

November the 7^th marks our first light switch on, right in the heart of the West End.

The famous Soho street is the ultimate mix of cool concept stores and famous flagship locations.

Themed ‘into the light’, this year’s lights promise a dazzling display that captures the creative, rebellious spirit of Soho.

2. Covent Garden

On the 12^th of November you can head down to Europe’s ‘officially the best’ shopping district to witness giant décor including a 60ft Christmas tree, bells and baubles, and even an ice-skating rink.

3. Leadenhall Market

Worried about the weather? Head to Leadenhall Market on the 14^th of November and not only will you be transported to a Victorian style array of lights; you’ll also be under a roof!

This hidden gem features boutiques and big brands alike, and with 3 craft fairs occurring in the run up to Christmas, its the perfect destination for unique gifting.
