The Harmony Ramadan Arch in action...

The Harmony Ramadan Arch made its debut for the Marble Arch London BID, in partnership with The Portman Estate, in 2024, where we brought the first Ramadan light display to Edgware Road, with the arch taking residence at Nutford Place for the month of Ramadan. You may have also seen the Arch in Luton, which featured a bespoke “Ramadan Mubarak Luton” message.

The bespoke 2.9m tall light installation is a majestic walk-through experience, adorned with warm white LED lights and elegant gold insets. Emblazoned with the heartfelt message “Ramadan Mubarak,” symbolising blessings and goodwill.

We are so pleased to bring Ramadan lights to Edgware Road for the first time through this new display at Nutford Place. We hope that people from across London visit the installation over the next month while enjoying the fantastic array of restaurants and cafés we have on offer across the district.

Westminster City Council’s support for a Ramadan light display on Edgware Road is a powerful symbol of its commitment to celebrating the togetherness of our diverse community and welcoming multi-faith cultures within the borough. Having Ramadan lights on Edgware Road, renowned for its Middle Eastern cuisine, is a great historic first for London. This initiative not only honours the significance of Ramadan for the Muslim community but also fosters inclusivity and understanding among all residents and visitors. Additionally, it has the potential to attract more people to the area and enhance the overall cultural vibrancy of Westminster.

Illuminating nutford place this Ramadan

Marble Arch London BID, in partnership with Field & Lawn and The Portman Estate, have brought the first Ramadan light display to Edgware Road, installing an illuminated crescent moon ground mounted selfie spot at Nutford Place which will be in place until Wednesday 10 April.

The bespoke 2.9m tall light installation is a majestic walk-through experience, adorned with warm white LED lights and elegant gold insets. Emblazoned with the heartfelt message “Ramadan Mubarak,” symbolising blessings and goodwill. The display runs throughout Ramadan and will be illuminated each day between 6am-11pm.

It is the latest public installation by Marble Arch London BID who fund Christmas lights on Edgware Road each year. It;s not the first time Field and Lawn have collaborated with Marble Arch London BID. In 2023, we brought a 16ft bespoke illuminated replica of the St Edward’s Crown to Marble Arch which attracted thousands of visitors to the area over King Charles III’s Coronation weekend.

Building on the success of London’s Ramadan lights in Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Street, the Nutford Place display marks a milestone as the first Ramadan lights on Edgware Road, where so many people flock as they break their fast daily or celebrate Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan.

We are so pleased to bring Ramadan lights to Edgware Road for the first time through this new display at Nutford Place. We hope that people from across London visit the installation over the next month while enjoying the fantastic array of restaurants and cafés we have on offer across the district.

Ramadan, observed worldwide, is a time of spiritual reflection, fasting, prayer and community gatherings. Along Edgware Road, from Marble Arch to the Marylebone Flyover families and friends come together in celebration.

The fasting period takes place from dawn until sunset, known as suhoor and iftar respectively. During suhoor, which commences with the morning prayer (fajr), many Muslims focus on consuming nutritious foods to sustain them throughout the day. As the sun sets and iftar approaches, the fast is broken with a series of snacks followed by a wholesome meal, accompanied by refreshing beverages. Desserts are also an important part of the meal and tend to be rich and sweet.

The vibrant Edgware Road is bursting with cafés, shops, and restaurants, selling traditional foods from Lebanese and Turkish cuisine to Iraqi, Egyptian and Indian fare. The gastronomic offerings are as diverse as they are delicious and have long been a draw for communities observing Ramadan.

When we started Ramadan Lights in 2020, our simple hope was to share the warmth and beauty of our faith with friends, family, and neighbours. Now, only four years later, the idea has grown beyond our wildest dreams, with Ramadan lights set to sparkle in Cologne, Oslo, Brisbane and across our great city of London. Edgware Road, with its rich diversity of cultures, is the perfect place for Ramadan lights. I salute Marble Arch London BID and The Portman Estate for celebrating with London's Muslim community.
