Those starry Christmas lights will return to Oxford Street for the 2025 festive season, it has been announced.

Over 5,000 white stars will once again dangle above the world-famous shopping street — as they have done every Christmas since 2021 — consisting of more than 300,000 LED lights, designed to use less energy than regular lights. This'll come as no surprise to anyone who's been down Oxford Street recently, as the stars have been in situ since early October.

You can see them illuminated from Monday 3 November 2025. This year's Oxford Street Christmas lights are in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity), raising money through events including a Big Day of Joy on 7 December, with performances in the street, activities in some shops, and other festive experiences.

Oxford Street Christmas lights will be switched on from 3 November 2025. Keep an eye on the website for details of that, and other special events including a Big Day of Joy on 7 December.
