The Spirit of Christmas 2025

The Spirit of Christmas lights are back and they are even more beautiful.

Once again, the world-famous Spirit of Christmas lights are soaring above Regent Street and St James’s, and the festive season is in full swing in Central London. As the Spirits light up the skies each night, they bring that unmistakable festive magic that transforms our neighbourhood into one of the capital’s most enchanting destinations.

This year’s display, designed by James Glancy Design Ltd, features over 30 radiant Spirits stretching across St James’s Market, Glasshouse Street, Swallow Street and Quadrant Arcade — dazzling displays you won't want to miss.

The lights switch on from early evening, creating a more sustainable and beautifully atmospheric start to the season - and plenty of time for you to look up in awe!

Check out the below highlights of some of our favourite pictures from the past. We’d love to see your festive photos from our neighbourhoods - to share, please use #RegentStreetLondon and tag @regentstreetW1
