London is ready for retail Christmas

The retail streets of London are officially ready for Christmas, with boutiques, department stores and retailers hoping to attract local and tourist shoppers with a lively atmosphere in the West End.

The lights on Oxford Street, Regent Street, Carnaby Street and Marylebone have been 'switched on,' and these are just some of the retail hotspots in the capital looking to boost the festive season for retailers to achieve their targets and margins for the end of the financial year.
