Overview
- Regent Street will be closed to vehicles between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus from 2pm to 9pm on Saturday, December 6.
- Three vintage buses anchor the event: a Spirit of Christmas Selfie Station with an accessible platform, the Choose Love Disco Bus with choirs and DJs, and a Gift Wrap and Festive Crafts bus offering wreath-making and free wrapping with same‑day receipts from Regent Street or St James’s.
- Street entertainment will include stilt walkers, juggling jesters, comedic butlers and Hamleys’ elves, alongside stalls serving hot chocolate, fudge and non‑alcoholic mulled wine.
- Choose Love will operate The Ultimate Charity Shop pop‑up selling donated luxury fashion and beauty to fund refugee aid, with free in‑store gift wrapping on December 11, 14 and 20 to extend the festive services.
- Coverage describes this as the first traffic‑free Regent Street in about five years and a showcase for what future pedestrianised spaces in the West End could feel like.
