Did you go to Regent Street last night to see the Christmas lights being switched on? We put on our mittens and went along to hear music from Joe McElderry and the cast of Jersey Boys, and a special appearance by cast members of the new film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. At one point there was a little flurry of snow, but we’re not sure if it was real, fake, or we imagined it!
If you love shopping on Regent Street, don’t forget that it’s West End VIP Day on the 27th November. Check out our round up of London’s best Christmas lights and Christmas trees if you’re looking for some sparkle!
Despite being in London for several years, this was the first time I made it to a Christmas light switch on. Good work by the cast of Jersey Boys!
I’ve never been to a switch on before either, and I want to see more! Basil Brush is switching on the lights in Croydon next week….
the lights looked amazing, well done jersey boys ur ability to push a button is awesome.

I’ve done the Oxford Street ones before (as in attended the ceremony not switched them on myself), but never Regent Street, and I have to say despite my local pride for Oxford Street, Regent looks much much better this year. I find those gift box things on Oxford Street to be very unspectacular.
can anyone tell me who switched on the Oxford Street Christmas lights this year?
The Oxford Street lights were switched on by a group of children chosen by the Kids Company charity.
Hi Jennifer
Children from charity the Kids’ Company switched on the lights this year.
