Discover the stories of noteworthy people and places of the Baker Street Quarter when you explore its first ever Christmas Lights. The lights for the Marylebone area, unveiled on Thursday 21st November 2019, display four site-specific installations joined together by illuminated lights along Baker Street. Each of the installations tell a story, inspired by the infamous people and places of the quarter. At Portman Square Garden the installations reference Lady Montagu's Blue Stocking Parties held in Montagu House on the square. Twinkling lights adorn the tress in Manchester Square Gardens - a reminder of the 18th century when this square was a pleasure garden. Hanging decorations at 55 Baker Street come in the shape of a crown, a bird, a cog and a horse, harking back to before the war when the address was home to the 'Baker Street Bazaar'. At the fourth and final display, on the Baker Street / Marylebone Road Junction, illuminated geese perched on columns and blue jewels are inspired by the only Sherlock Holmes Christmas story, 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle'.
