Lady Jane Plaque
A new plaque has been unveiled to celebrate Lady Jane, the first women's boutique to open on Carnaby Street. Renowned as a menswear destination, 1966 saw the iconic Lady Jane boutique open at 29 Carnaby Street. Co-owned by Henry Moss and Harry Fox, the store gave women, and a lot of men too, something to really shout about. Read more about Lady Jane here. Check the plaque now at 29 Carnaby Street.
Ocean Mural Art in Carnaby
Our famous art wall on Little Marlborough Street (alongside Pret A Manger) is back again and this time we have partnered with Ocean Conservation Organisation Project 0 to feature the ocean and its wonderful creatures in it thanks to artist James at Choots Art. James has been painting walls around the world and is heavily influenced by Japanese and American pop art, nature and film. Follow James @jameschuter for more of his work.

Tenison Court Light Installation
Carnaby is about to get even more colourful with the new Tension Court Light Installation. Walk down the white light filled street to see your shadow split into a rainbow of colours. The magic happens through a projection of primary colour lights which produces secondary coloured shadows where the two primary colours overlap. The combination of all three primary colours in equal intensities makes the light white.
You will find Tension Court in the street that connects Kingly Street to Regent Street opposite Kingly Court. We can’t wait to see what photos you all come up with so make sure to tag @CarnabyLondon to join the conversation!
