Description
Experience the charming festive magic of Central London as Marylebone Village transforms into a pedestrianised winter wonderland! Join us for an atmospheric evening walking tour capturing the 2026 Merry Marylebone Christmas Lights Switch-on along Marylebone High Street on Wednesday 11th November.
We begin our stroll soaking in the buzzing street-party atmosphere as crowds gather across Marylebone High Street, Paddington Street, and Devonshire Street. Surrounded by live festive music echoing down the street, just in the nick of time we catch the magical 6pm moment as the entire village’s glowing canopy of eco-friendly twinkling lights suddenly illuminates overhead!
Throughout the walk, we explore everything this beloved neighbourhood celebration has to offer, from the towering 55-foot Ferris wheel, classic carousel, festive workshops, carol singers, and Santa’s Grotto in Marylebone Church Gardens, to the bustling rows of artisan gift stalls and pop-up food vendors. Watch as locals and visitors warm up with mulled wine, hot chocolate, and seasonal treats from iconic local favourites like The Ginger Pig, Fischer’s, Carlotta, and The Ivy, all in support of the Evelina London Children’s Charity.
We then wander down the picturesque, winding Marylebone Lane, which glows beautifully under its own canopy of twinkling festive lights. Along the way, we soak up the generous spirit as 108 Brasserie treats passers-by to complimentary mince pies and mulled wine, before stopping to admire the adorable, giant polar bears dressed in branded The Ivy Christmas jumpers standing guard outside the famous restaurant.
