okay welcome to London's Oxford Street now Christmas day may not be until
December 25th however by mid November it's beginning to look a lot like
Christmas everywhere you go now Christmas Day itself it's relatively
quiet here in the middle of London and centre of town
most businesses are closed and there are very few ways to get around town even if
you want to and most people want to spend the day if they can with their
family their friends and the people they love and eat and drink and hope their
favorite films on the TV
however the preceding weeks there are lots of things to do people want to go
out for dinner and drinks with friends and family and colleagues and fun
festive things that which there are plenty ice-skating festive Christmas markets
concerts carol services and winter wonderland of course Christmas lights
and decorations christmas is a time for giving people take that literally
so Christmas shopping is a thing that's why starting here on Oxford Street
it's one of not just London's busiest shopping streets but one of Europe's
busiest shopping streets
and not only will the stores be decorated with festive lights and decorations so
will the street itself I can see Christmas decorations
lining the streets and Christmas decorations will line all of London's
major shopping streets so I thought I would share with you some of the decorations this
year so in a short while celebrities pop stars will be switching on the lights
here take a look at the lights here on Oxford Street and take a look some of the
festive Christmas lights on some of London's other major shopping
destination destinations and shopping streets these are hugely popular events
there's a huge crowd in this evening check it out
a lot of the shops and stores will coincide their store decorations with the
streets decoration as well so I'm pretty sure Marks and Spencers here
and Selfridges is always lit up but they'll turn their Christmas lights on
simultaneously so hopefully they'll look pretty good
okay the crowds are so big here they put up these screens down the street because not everyone
can see the stage with the celebrity switching on the lights so people
along the street is three miles long
so all the visitors can see events on stage on screen
and then watch the lights go go live above them
6:15 they said it's 6:15
ok this is probably gonna get a bit
I was about to say this is probably getting a bit boring soon but
they came on straight away
okay this year's Oxford Street Christmas lights look phenomenal so let's head to some of
London's other major shopping streets and shopping destinations see how they
look this Christmas
