About

Canary Wharf’s Winter Lights festival returns to London for it's eighth edition.

This year, the trail will take you on a journey through 13 spectacular temporary installations, as well as the ever-popular permanent light artworks to help beat the January blues and render the dark winter evenings aglow.

Showcasing some of the most innovative light artists across the globe, the lineup shines a light on the intersection and juxtaposition of nature and technology: allowing for moments of stimulation and pause, of beauty and technicality.

Witness Westferry Circus ablaze as the flickering flames of Sign fill the garden; experience a mediative marble run at Wren Landing; meander through the geometric monoliths in Crossrail Place Roof Garden; immerse yourself in Squidsoup’s Submergence as it returns to Montgomery Square and observe a larger-than-life laser projection at Union Square.

* The exhibition is open daily and is free to explore.
