Savile Row

Savile Row’s 2024 Christmas lights were inspired by the tools found in every tailor’s workshop – fitting for the UK’s leading tailoring district. They included giant illuminated golden shears cutting through a glittering swathe of ‘fabric’, with the message of ‘Savile Row Christmas’ twinkling against the night sky. In terms of sustainability credentials, the displays were composed of more than 5,000 extra-low-energy bulbs, while elements of the decorations are 3D printed from 100 per cent recyclable plastic. Expect much of the same in 2025, while exact details are to be confirmed.

Switch-on: TBC
Address: Savile Row, Mayfair
