Those sparkly, glowing orbs are back for a fourth year - with a brand new addition. The Oxford Street Christmas lights switch-on will see 1778 snowball-like decorations (and 750,000 LED lightbulbs) lit up once again for what is the fifty-seventh year the road has been decorated for the festive period.
Plus, this year the lights have a charity partner: the NSPCC. To celebrate the launch of its Little Stars campaign, the charity asks Londoners to donate £5 to dedicate one of the star-shaped lights to a loved one.
For the second time ever the switch-on event on Sunday November 6 will see West Oxford Street closed to traffic (2pm-6.30pm), with special offers available in many of the shops. Capital provides the music, and My Little Pony and Transformers characters will be popping along too
Sunday November 6 2016 - Friday January 6 2017
