Regent Street 2019 Christmas lights turn on

Christmas has arrived in Regent Street on the 14th November as the lights were turned on. The crowds filled the streets as the fireworks signalled the turning on of the lights. 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of Regent Street, so there were a lot more offers on for the Christmas shoppers.

It is the largest lights installation in the capital, Regent Street’s and St James’s awe-inspiring ‘The Spirit of Christmas’ lights feature stunning suspended spirits inspired by Regent Street’s Christmas lights in 1954.

I mainly took long exposure shots of the fireworks with a wide-angle lens (10mm) to pick up the whole of the “Spirit of Christmas” lucky for me the crowds didn’t stand in front of my camera.

Cherry blossom in Cassiobury Park

May Events 2026

Hello May! Welcome to my May newsletter. It seems this year is flying fast. It’s the last month of spring as we head into summer. April has been an explosion of colour with all the floral displays. It has come much earlier than in previous years, which bodes well for a spectacular summer. Even the bluebells here in Watford were a month early, and they all seemed to happen at the same time with the cherry blossom and tulips.
