This year’s Carnaby Street Christmas lights display celebrates the oceans and has been made from recycled materials.
The Carnaby Christmas lights have been created in collaboration with Project 0, a charity who work tirelessly to conserve the oceans.
The lights have reused over 1500 plastic bottles, make use of 100 per cent cotton fabrics, and use only eco-friendly vegan paint to decorate the installation.
Each section of Carnaby Street will depict a different underwater area.
The grand illumination includes a floating kelp forest that’s made out of repurposed fishing nets and a pink coral reef, constructed from over 500 metres of post-use bubble wrap.
Eleven sea animals, including dolphins, turtles, sharks, and a five-metre, bubble-blowing whale are amongst the upcycled materials.
The centrepiece of Carnaby Street, naturally, is the Carnaby arch, emblazoned with shimmering disks and a giant clam, and bears the message ‘One Ocean One Planet’.
