It stretches from Tottenham Court Road to Marble Arch, tracing the path of the ancient Roman Road, Via Trinobantina, which is over 2000 years old.
- Regent Street - Famous for having the most iconic Christmas illuminations in London, flanked by prestigious shops including Hamleys, Liberty’s, and The Apple Store.
- Bond Street - London’s most upscale shopping avenue, adorned with magnificent lighting, including intricate Peacock Feather motifs. The display windows here are a sight to behold, and it’s common to spot celebrities shopping for their attire and jewelry. In the past, Cartier, Bulgari, Stella McCartney, and Victoria’s Secret have showcased particularly striking window and lighting arrangements.
- Trafalgar Square - The Christmas tree gracing the square is a yearly gift from Norway, expressing gratitude to Britain for assistance during World War II.
The square also features a grand Hanukkah Menorah, with a new candle lit each day of the festival.
- Westminster - Not only the hub of the UK’s Parliament, Westminster is also known for its royal heritage, dating back to when Henry VIII established his palace in Whitehall. The tour highlights the area’s famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London Eye, Parliament, and Westminster Abbey.
- South Bank - The tour route includes a journey along Victoria Embankment and across Waterloo Bridge, offering spectacular views of the South Bank’s festive lights. Notable buildings in this area are the Oxo Tower, Royal Festival Hall, Mondrian Sea Containers Hotel, and The Shard.
- Mayfair - As London’s most affluent district, Mayfair is a hotspot for the elite to socialize. During Christmas, the hotels, clubs, and restaurants are especially inviting, aiming to attract their well-heeled patrons. Noteworthy light displays can be seen at exclusive venues like Annabelles, Claridges, the Connaught, and Scotts of Mayfair.
