London deals with the long, gloomy nights in January by lighting up the sky. As usual, the commercial towers of Canary Wharf are getting some of the season’s most impressive illuminations; the hugely popular Canary Wharf Winter Lights, London’s largest free illuminations.
Looking for more bright lights this winter? Be sure to check our top picks for the city’s best, and our walking tour of London’s Christmas lights.
As well as lights to be admired from afar, this year promises several hands-on interactive exhibits. For their tenth edition, the trail brings you work from some of the most innovative light artists in the world and explores the idea of a dreamscape, transforming Canary Wharf into an ethereal landscape of discovery and possibility.
Check out the website for the final line-up.
No tickets are required, and the event is totally free. Just rock up and say goodbye to your January blues.
