This year they're doing something a bit special for the Christmas Lights on Regent Street. For the first time ever the lights on Regent Street are being switched on at the same time as those on Oxford Street and both are decorated along the same theme - Disney's A Christmas Carol, to tie in with the new film starring Jim Carrey. As part of London's A Christmas Carol celebrations, the film's actors, Colin Firth and Robin Wright Penn, will be turning on the Regent Street lights, revealing illuminations which bring Charles Dickens' popular Christmas tale to life. There'll be live music from Daniel Merriweather and The Noisettes, Christmas concerts, street events and carol singers to get the Regent Street crowd into the festive mood. Regent Street's Christmas Lights are among the most spectacular of all London's winter illuminations, and images of Regent Street under swathes of fairy lights are synonymous with this festive time of year. Families from all over the country make the trip to see the lights being switched on. Make your way to the sweeping John Nash-designed shopping street and you can see lights that have symbolised the spirit of Christmas since 1954 being switched on. With giant retailers like Hamleys, Liberty's and newcomers like Banana Republic and the Ferrari Store lining the street, you won't be short of present shopping opportunities either. The switching-on ceremony begins on 3rd November and the streets continue to be lit up until 5th January.
