What people say

"Carnaby Street’s Christmas lights will be switched on on November 8, 2023. This year’s theme is called “Carnaby Universe” and features a solar system of neon lights that will be strung up in the sky above Carnaby’s shops. The installation will be turned on officially on November 8. Over 100 brands, restaurants, and bars will come together to offer an evening of activations and promotions alongside live music and entertainment on November 8 from 4 PM - 8 PM. "
"This area is so cute and there are usually some cool installations. Here you will find more premium brands than Oxford Street. I find it relaxing sitting down on one of their benches (when you find one free) and just observing the people around. If you come here, you must go to the Liberty shop which is very popular and most Londoners go to buy special occasion gifts, as it is also very expensive. "
"Carnaby Street is an iconic shopping street known for its independent boutiques, trendy brands, and creative atmosphere. It's a must-visit for fashion enthusiasts and those seeking unique shopping experiences. The street is often beautifully decorated, making it well worth a stroll for any visitor to London."
