Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Known as ‘The Spirits of Christmas’, Regent Street’s Christmas lights display is the largest one in the country, and has a proud history dating way back to its debut in 1954.

Stop 2

The go-to district for a good time in London, Soho hosts a wealth of world-class theatres and a compelling lineup of cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, and clubs. At Soho's core is London's original Red Light District and the epicenter of the LGBT scene – and thus the city's hottest nightlife.

Bordering leafy Hyde Park, Mayfair is an upscale district of elegant Georgian townhouses, exclusive hotels, and gourmet restaurants. Its world-famous retailers include bespoke tailors on Savile Row and designer fashions on Bond Street.

The London Palladium is a Grade II* West End theatre located on Argyll Street, London, in the famous area of Soho. The theatre holds 2,286 seats.

The Dominion Theatre is a West End theatre and former cinema on Tottenham Court Road, close to St Giles Circus and Centre Point, in the London Borough of Camden.

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a Catholic feast celebrating Mary's conception without sin. Even though this feast day occurs in the liturgical season of Advent, which prepares for the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary in the womb of her mother.

Bond Street in the West End of London links Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, commonly referred to as Winter Wonderland, is a large annual Christmas event held in Hyde Park, London, from mid-November to early January.

Carnaby Christmas Street Lights! Get ready to be wowed by the special kaleidoscope of shimmering neon butterflies.

There's over 600 sparkling 3D and 2D butterflies are fluttering through Carnaby. Each butterfly is hand decorated with reflective wings and bright neon patterns. The Carnaby arch is shining bright in pink shimmer disks with brightly coloured 3D butterflies perched above.

It has London's biggest hand-picked Christmas tree and one of the busiest gardens. There's a dazzling array of lights that have been plugged in and powered up and makes for a simply magical look!
