Overview

Join me for the Canary Wharf Winter Lights festival. This captivating trail will guide you through 12 stunning temporary installations alongside permanent light artworks. Featuring some of the world's most innovative light artists, the festival delves into the  transformative power of art and light, with captivating elements like portals, black holes, and mirages.

Journey from a towering stack of bathtubs pulsating with light and sound, to Westferry Circus where a hypnotic tornado of lights swirls around a pylon. Immerse yourself in panels of sari fabric and glowing threads at Wren Landing, marvel at an iridescent mirage at Montgomery Square, witness a bird in flight, and step through a portal in Wood Wharf. Don’t miss the newly opened Eden Dock, where a 20-meter-wide sinkhole encircled by light will leave you in awe.

We’ll wrap up our ramble with a pub social at Wetherspoons, Leger Building, West India Quay, 4 Hertsmere Road, London E14 4AL.
