It’s freezing in London, but that didn’t prevent the Canary Wharf Winter Lights guys from creating free entertainment for Londoners. Canary Wharf Winter Lights features 30 amazing light installations throughout Canary Wharf: sculptures, structures and installations from some of the most innovative artists and designers worldwide. It is actually really cool so get your warmest coat and get ready for a 1-2 hr stroll full of light! Do hurry as it is just two weeks long.
How much: It’s FREE, ain’t London cool?
When: Until Friday 27th of January 2017, from 4pm to 9pm
Where: Canary Wharf tube station Jubilee Line. See map of attractions below:
Favorite installations:
Ovo: egg shaped sculpture that shoots of vapor – great photo material
Angels of Freedom: Lighted angel wings that change their color and make a nice postcard
The garden of floating words: the name says it all
Light bench: another self explanatory name
Cathedral of Mirrors: 12 towers with moving lights that respond to visitors using sensors
Water wall: a mist screen with constantly moving objects, also allows visitors to interact and paint on the mist canvas by moving
Huge Reeds: vertical tubes with light sapping top to bottom
AND MY TWO FAVORITES
Horizontal Interference: horizontal lighted straps linking trees in a psychedelically marvelous way
Bloom: cute little balls of light and sound which coordinate themselves with changes in ambiance
DON’T MISS THIS! If you did, were curious about it and got this far, I hope you’ve enjoyed the review. And hey, you’ll make it next year! I’m sure there will be another one. Last year we had Lumiere in Kings Cross in January, this year Winter Lights at Canary Wharf…we’ll need to wait until 2018 then!
