Selfridges & Disney : A Most Magical Christmas

      ,   No comments

For the first time, Selfridges has partnered with Disney for a Christmas celebration. The store’s façade has been transformed into an iconic Disney castle inspired by Disneyland Paris' Sleeping Beauty Castle complete with Mickey Mouse flags along the roofline.

A Tinker Bell–sparked light show illuminates the façade every 15 minutes from 5–9 p.m. daily until January 2. Over 100 meters of sparkling lights wrap around the building featuring 40 stars, the Jolly Roger ship from Disney's Peter Pan, and Cinderella’s carriage, all choreographed to the Cinderella soundtrack.

Twelve charming hand-painted windows showcase classic Disney stories, including 101 Dalmatians, Beauty and the Beast, Lady and the Tramp, and Pinocchio.

A festive, magical experience for all!

Each year, London transforms into a festive wonderland with Christmas lights. Oxford Street, Regent Street, St James', and Carnaby Street are among the first to turn on.

Oxford Street is the first to go on with its suspended lights stretching the length of the street.

A short walk away is Regent Street with its Spirit of Christmas installation. The iconic angel sculptures float overhead with their wings above the curving historic boulevard.
St James' beautiful golden decorations accent the area's classic architecture.

Nearby Carnaby Street is known for its creative holiday lighs based on different theme every year. This year's theme All is Bright stands out for its colorful and contemporary display.

Before leaving the area, there are two stops worth making:
