Join residents and shops in Belgravia as Christopher Biggins brings holiday splendour to Motcomb Street
Motcomb Street Belgravia, Christmas Lights 2010

On Thursday 1 December, enjoy live jazz, the Household Cavalry Quintet and the IDMC Gospel Choir as residents, businesses and visitors celebrate the switching on of the Motcomb Street Christmas lights.

Motcomb Street, a charming, cobbled corner of Belgravia, is home to exquisite Michelin-starred restaurants, boutiques and salons – and it will have some added sparkle once Christopher Biggins switches on the festive lights.

The actor and reality-TV star is only one of the attractions, however. Live music starts at 6pm, including a performance by IDMC Gospel Choir, which featured on Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ tour and at Pavarotti’s wedding, among other celebrity affairs.

The schedule of events is as follows:

6.00pm: Event opens with music
6.15pm: Jazz band
7.00pm: Christopher Biggins switches on the lights
7.15pm: Household Cavalry Quintet
7.45pm: IDMC Gospel Choir
8.30pm: Event closes
