About the Project
Now in its fifth year, the Soho Kids Christmas Lights project transforms Soho into a vibrant celebration of creativity and local identity. Six brand-new installations have been co-designed by pupils from Soho Parish Primary School in collaboration with architects and artists, adding to the existing collection of 51 lights created in previous years.
