Soho Lights Designed By Local Children

Soho Lights

A new set of Christmas lights designed by children from Soho Parish School have been switched on by Cllr Andrew Smith, Lord Mayor of the City of Westminster.

Cllr Jonathan Glanz and Cllr Timothy Barnes helped the project by working to secure ward budget funding and Cllr Barnes also helped to select designs and obtain the permissions needed.

Local people and visitors can follow a trail across Soho to see the lights and learn more about the young artists that designed each one!
