Carnaby Street

The charming shopping streets of Carnaby are wonderful at any time of year, but this Christmas is extra special.

Liberty London

With rich and warming colours, plus décor covered in jewels and crystals, Liberty London’s Christmas window displays are truly sumptuous. Incorporating art in many guises, quirky creatures sculpted by Billie Achilleos sit alongside bonsai trees instead of traditional Christmas trees. Modern, cosy and whimsical, it’s worth visiting to see a genuinely unique take on Christmas.

Wave

This light installation can be found in Belgravia’s Eccleston Yards – a cosy square that finds itself covered in 500 suspended orbs this festive season. Designed by the artist collective Squidsoup, each coloured orb is said to have a different effect, such as causing a boost in energy or happiness. The installation will be in place from 28 November 2019 to 11 January 2020.

Fortnum & Mason

With moving window displays featuring cats in red jackets – who were first used in the department store’s Christmas campaign in the 1950s – Fortnum & Mason has taken a quirky approach to its window displays this year. A little like Santa’s elves getting everything ready for Christmas, the cats are depicted filling up bottles of champagne and working on mince pie assembly lines!
