Christmas Light Switch-On In Regent Street
Every year London's Christmas shopping season is declared officially open with the switching-on of the Christmas lights on the mile-long stretch of Regent St. A well-known personality is invited to switch on the lights and start the party...
Actor Colin Firth switches on the lights in 2009 and the road is closed to traffic from 4pm so that spectators can enjoy the entertainment, which includes an appearance by the Noisettes. If you miss the first day, don't worry, as the lights stay on until the new year.
