Iconic UK high street bans cars today for ‘festive mile’ transformation | UK | News

An iconic shopping street in the UK will become a ‘festive hotspot’ today as cars are banned ahead of the Christmas period.

Regent Street in London will be a shopping paradise from 14.00 to 21.00 on Saturday, December 6. A variety of activities and shops will be offered to visitors, including a party bus.

Three old model red buses will be parked. One will host a Christmas Spirit Selfie Station with stunning angel light displays.

Another will have a disco and lights, while the third bus will be an arts and crafts haven with chances to make wreaths and wrap gifts.

The wrapping station is also completely free. Simply show a receipt from the Regent Street or St James’s store.

Regent Street was last closed to traffic in 2020 to celebrate the festive period.

Some stores also have special events and offers.

NEOM will offer a win-win wheel with many gifts to be won.

Marc Jacobs is hosting a special event at his shop with a DJ set and drinks.

66°North is delivering drinks to customers, and Bentley’s is offering mulled wine and other festive treats along with carols.

Regent Street is also a stone’s throw from Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland.
