Every set of London’s Christmas lights has something to make them unique, and Carnaby’s particular display outdoes itself every year. This year is no different, with a brand new design having just been strung up and switched on to shine out over the city. The new ‘Into the Light’ display is now shining a glorious golden glow over the area.
‘Into The Light’ is an all-new display of 60,000 LED energy-efficient lights that make up a number of six-metre sculptures across the area. The lights will be re-used for the next five Christmases, though the design will not necessarily be the same each time as the technology means they can be adapted. It ensures that the lights are more sustainable while still being able to excite and deliver a new display each time!

Visitors will also be able to see star-shaped features across the entrance to Carnaby Street and the installation stretching over to Kingly Court with cascades of light across the balconies turning it into a festive paradise.
Speaking on the news Michelle McGrath, Executive Director at Shaftesbury Capital, said:
“London’s West End is globally renowned for its spectacular festive lighting displays, so we’re proud to unveil this ground-breaking, immersive lighting installation in Carnaby Street; ‘Into The Light’, which delivers a new first-of-its-kind approach to Christmas lights in London embodying thoughtful and contemporary design.
“The addition of ‘Into The Light’ to Carnaby Street, already renowned as one of London’s must-visit Christmas destinations, will add to the street’s appeal as a festive hotspot for shopping and dining by captivating Londoners, tourists, and visitors with its dynamic light displays.”

Carnaby’s ‘Into The Light’ Christmas light display is now illuminated and shining down over the area. Head on down to ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ at the glorious sight.
