First things first: you must see the lights. Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Carnaby Street go absolutely bonkers with dazzling displays that would make a disco ball jealous.
My sneaky tip? Go on Christmas Eve when everyone else is panicking. The crowds have thinned out, the air smells like mulled wine, and you can take a photo without 47 strangers photobombing you.
If you want the coziest light walk, head to Marylebone Village. It’s less “shopping frenzy” and more “Victorian Christmas card come to life,” which is honestly perfect for your Instagram story.
