#  The Coolest Destination For Xmas Shopping  


Did you know Carnaby isn't just one street? The name actually refers to a vast area made up of 14 streets in Soho with over 100 retailers and more than 60 restaurants and bars and this year, it’s created the ultimate Christmas shopping and dining experience.

### *the* LIGHTS 



 

With 14 streets full of shops, bars, pubs and restaurants – all within walking distance of Oxford Circus and Piccadilly tube stations – the West End destination always has an incredible atmosphere, but it really comes into its own at this time of year, when its impressive installation takes centre stage. This year, Carnaby Street, Foubert’s Place, Ganton Street and Newburgh Street are alight with festive illuminations. Among the collection, there's an underwater seascape, a kaleidoscope of butterflies, giant snowmen and 1960s inflatables – alongside collaborations with iconic British bands Queen and the Rolling Stones. The Stones’ illuminated tongue logo is one of the most unmistakable displays. Elsewhere, Carnaby’s arches are covered with silver shimmering discs embellished with carnival decorations and a globe greeting visitors with the words ‘Carnaby Welcomes The World’.
