What time do the Regent Street lights go on?

The Regent Street Christmas lights in London typically go on at 4:00 PM each day during the holiday season. The lights are usually switched on in early November and remain on throughout the Christmas period, staying lit until midnight or later, depending on the day of the week and the level of foot traffic.

The lights are usually switched on for the first time during a special event known as the Regent Street Christmas Light Switch-On ceremony, which takes place in early November. The exact time for this event can vary each year, but it often starts in the early evening, with the lights officially being turned on around 6:00 PM after a live performance or festive celebrations.

After that, the lights stay on each day at 4:00 PM until midnight, creating a magical atmosphere throughout the evening. These beautiful, angelic lights along Regent Street are one of London’s most iconic Christmas displays and a must-see for anyone visiting the city during the holidays.

If you plan to visit and enjoy the lights, it’s best to check local listings or the official Regent Street website for any updates or special events around the exact timing.
