Christmas Lights in Chelsea 10k Tour - Festively Fast

Thu 4th December 2025 - Wed 10th December 2025

A group of people in festive clothing and Santa hats jump in unison under an archway adorned with thousands of twinkling Christmas lights, creating a tunnel of illuminated arches. The ground is wet, reflecting the dazzling lights above. A group of people standing behind large illuminated letters that spell "KING'S ROAD" at night. The letters are decorated with white lights, creating a festive atmosphere. The ground is shiny and dark, suggesting it might be wet. A white brick building features two pink doors, each adorned with a large wreath made of flowers and greenery. A black metal fence lines the front, and a rectangular planter with foliage sits between the doors. A blue plaque is mounted above the doors. A group of people in vibrant athletic wear pose for a photo under an archway adorned with colorful decorations. They seem to be in a festive mood, with some wearing Santa hats and holiday attire. The background features purple lighting. A Christmas wreath made of evergreen branches is adorned with colorful ornaments, each with googly eyes. The ornaments are arranged in a gradient, transitioning from red and pink at the top to silver and gold at the bottom. The wreath hangs on a black door. A person stands on a circular platform, posing with arms outstretched in front of a colorful, illuminated wing-shaped light display. The individual is wearing a Santa hat, red Christmas-themed shirt, and dark leggings with a starry pattern, smiling at the camera.
