Why not kick things off by checking out one of the light festivals/installations happening in London?
- Canary Wharf’s Winter Lights is on between the 17th to 27th of January (5-10pm) and it’s sure to ‘take you on a journey through 12 spectacular temporary installations.’ The installations are put together by some of the most innovative light artists across the world so it’s definitely worth exploring!
- Battersea Power Station’s annual Light Festival is returning from the 25th of January for a month. If you want to know more about the artists that are involved or the event itself, check it out here. It doesn’t stop at the lights though as Battersea Power Station now has over 140 shops, bars, restaurants and venues open so why not make a day of it?
