Greenwich Market Lantern Parade & Christmas Lights Switch-On
The Greenwich Market Lantern Parade & Christmas Lights Switch-On takes place on Wednesday 18 November 2026. The free event welcomes children and gives local visitors two scheduled moments to plan around: the Lantern Parade from 16:00 to 16:50 and the lights switch-on at 17:00. The procession passes through the Old Royal Naval College grounds and Cutty Sark Gardens before arriving at Greenwich Market. Celebrations continue until 18:00. The listed event address is Greenwich Market, London, SE10 9HZ. The parade route is mostly flat, though its historic surfaces may include uneven flagstones and cobbles. This is worth bearing in mind when planning to follow the procession.
