On London's vibrant Carnaby Street, one of the capital's most lively shopping areas, Christmas lights have been switched on, marking the beginning of the festive season. This event, which is anticipated each year, draws both locals and tourists, with the decorations evolving annually to surprise visitors while retaining the traditional holiday spirit.

This year’s theme, Into The Light, emphasizes the importance of a sustainable approach to holiday decor, a concept increasingly valued in today's world. The decorations include six-meter-long sculptural blocks filled with LED lights. These bright elements not only save energy but also blend harmoniously with the architectural style of Soho, bringing a unique atmosphere of joy and celebration to the entire area. Organizers highlight that the new lighting scheme represents both a sustainable future and the distinct festive charm that makes Carnaby Street an iconic destination for tourists.

Catherine Riccomini, Director of Marketing and Communications at Shaftesbury Capital, noted that over 60,000 LED lights add a warm and pleasant glow to Carnaby Street, creating an unforgettable display for all visitors. "This installation highlights Soho's unique architecture and is also a reminder of the importance of a sustainable approach to holiday decorations," she added.

For those planning to visit London in the coming weeks, Carnaby Street offers a chance not only to immerse in the winter magic but also to be part of a drive toward an eco-friendly future. The Christmas lights on Carnaby Street have become a holiday symbol adapted to modern realities and visitor expectations.
