Carnaby's getting new lights for Christmas 2024

Carnaby Street will get a brand new light display for Christmas 2024, it's been announced.

The 'Into the Light' illuminations scheme consists of several six-metre-long sculptural light forms made from 60,000 energy-efficient LEDs, suspended over the pedestrianised shopping street. Hourly light displays will take place overhead, with chunky star-shaped feature installations at each end of the street. Cascading curtains of light will adorn the balconies in Kingly Court. The switch-on event takes place on Thursday 7 November 2024.

The lights are designed to be used for at least the next five Christmas seasons — though that doesn't mean it'll be the same each time. They can be programmed to allow for new features and adjustments over time.

Carnaby's Christmas lights will be switched on 7 November 2024. Keep an eye on the website for details of that, and other special events.
