'Tis the season of Christmas lights, and Hammersmith is the latest borough set to illuminate the high street with a festive glow.

This holiday season, Hammersmith will have a Christmas Lights Switch-On at Livat Hammersmith on Thursday, November 21, at 6.30pm to see in the Christmas period. It will not only be a turn-on from the lights but also there is an extra treat for those who attend.

Livat, a shopping centre in the heart of Hammersmith, will coincide its Christmas light turn-on with the BID Christmas Lights Switch on Lyric Square. The evening will feature extended shopping hours at select stores and live music to get guests into the holiday spirit.
