Christmas Lights Switch On

 Lord Mayor of London to switch on Christmas lights at City of London’s magical Leadenhall Market

Thursday 14 November 2024 from 5.30pm

We’re pleased to announce that the Lord Mayor of London will kickstart Christmas at Leadenhall Market on Thursday 14 November. The much-loved annual switch-on ceremony will take place from 5.30pm, with the Lord Mayor’s speech and Christmas lights switch on at 6pm, unveiling the full splendour of Leadenhall Market’s 18ft giant real Christmas tree, which sits under the breathtaking central star-covered atrium of the Victorian market.

The glittering Christmas tree will be decked with a colour changing LED light display, complementing the large baubles and beautiful fir tree garlands throughout the Market. Our twinkling light tunnel also returns, bringing festive cheer to Beehive Passage.
