Every winter, London transforms into a city of light. From glowing shopfronts to twinkling trees, the capital becomes a living gallery of festive beauty. For us at PIERR, it’s one of the most inspiring times of the year, when streets turn into moodboards and every façade tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and joy.
Whether you’re an event planner, a designer, or simply a lover of Christmas charm, this guide will take you through the 25 most stunning Christmas decorations in London for 2025, from classic icons to creative newcomers.
1. Covent Garden
Covent Garden’s Christmas decorations are the very definition of holiday magic. The towering Christmas tree, thousands of twinkling baubles, and oversized mistletoe ornaments create an atmosphere straight out of a storybook.
PIERR note: The combination of metallic tones and natural greenery here offers beautiful inspiration for floral arches and festive installations.
2. Oxford Street
Oxford Street’s light display remains one of the city’s most photographed sights. This year’s theme is “Starlight Symphony,” featuring suspended constellations of LED stars that stretch the entire length of the street.
Event inspiration: Use cool white lighting and preserved silver eucalyptus to echo this celestial glow in your corporate events.
3. Regent Street
The “Spirit of Christmas” angels over Regent Street return once again, soaring above the traffic with graceful golden wings. They were London’s first central lights to debut in 1954, a timeless classic.
Design tip: Pair soft gold foliage and warm amber lighting to recreate this radiant warmth indoors.
4. New Bond Street
If you love luxury, New Bond Street is unmissable. The façades of Cartier, Dior, and Tiffany & Co. transform into illuminated works of art, blending fashion and fantasy.

7. Claridge’s
Each year, Claridge’s Hotel commissions a designer to reinterpret its famous Christmas tree. From Dior to Jimmy Choo, the collaborations blend art, couture, and floral craftsmanship.

What London’s Decorations Teach Us About Design
London’s festive décor scene isn’t just about lights — it’s a masterclass in mood, composition, and narrative. Every display tells a story through repetition, color, and light — the same principles that guide floral design.

Think holistically. Every detail should connect — from entrance florals to lighting tone.
Work with architecture. The best displays enhance, not compete with, their setting.
Sustainability can be beautiful. Preserved foliage and LED lighting show how longevity and beauty coexist.
