Carnaby Street's lights are always a bit eccentric, with previous years featuring everything from Queen's music lyrics to Mick Jagger's big lips.

This year they've decided to bring back some of their favourite lights from the past 25 years... so expect to see some giant snowmen, spaceships, seascapes and Christmassy-looking palm trees (we told you they were a bit eccentric!).

The display will stretch along Carnaby Street, Foubert's Place, Ganton Street and Newburgh Street, and lots of shops and restaurants will be joining in the fun with in-store activities and live music.
