Atmospheric lamps
LED lamps made from recycled polymer, used for Christmas garlands on Oxford Street, are not only energy-efficient but also known for their bright colors and long lifespan. Such a choice of lighting not only promotes the environmental friendliness of the event but also creates a festive atmosphere.
Last year’s illumination
The decision to use the same lighting as last year allows visitors to feel familiar and traditional. Thousands of dazzling stars, which will be hung between the shops, create a stunning visual spectacle that enhances the festive mood. Walking along Oxford Street, you will be surrounded by the warm glow of these enchanting lights, creating a magical atmosphere that will undoubtedly put you in a holiday mood.
Reducing energy consumption
Switching to a slightly shorter period of daily illumination will further reduce energy consumption while giving visitors enough time to enjoy the lights. This adjustment not only aligns with sustainability goals but also provides an opportunity to admire this spectacle throughout the season.
Long-awaited moment
The annual lighting of the garlands is a highly anticipated moment. It marks the official start of the Christmas season on Oxford Street and attracts both locals and tourists. Crowds gather in anticipation of the countdown, and then, in a dazzling glow, the lights illuminate the street, filling hearts with holiday cheer.
In addition to the lights, Oxford Street becomes a center of activity during the Christmas season. It comes alive thanks to festive decorations, beautifully adorned shop windows, and joyful sounds of street performers. Navigating through the bustling crowd, you will come across a multitude of enticing shops offering unique gifts, tasty treats, and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the holiday spirit.
A reminder of joy
Although Oxford Street is known for its hustle and bustle, the Christmas lights present an exciting contrast to the everyday busyness. They create a serene and magical atmosphere that brings people together, fosters a sense of community, and reminds us of the joy and beauty that the holiday season brings.
