We welcomed the return of our Christmas spirits at our annual switch on event on the 14th November, and for the next few weeks these stunning spirits will be lighting up the skies. Our Christmas spirits were actually inspired by Regent Street’s first Christmas lights in 1954 – and were the first ever festive lights scheme in Central London, 65 years ago.
To celebrate our festive history, we’ve partnered with the Museum of London to share a selection of images from its historic collection showcasing the Regent Street Lights of Christmas past, along with some of Regent Street’s flagship shops during the Christmas shopping season...
