Winter Lights returns in January. Canary Wharf will be transformed into a huge outdoor art spectacular, lit up by works new, returning and specially commissioned.
For this eighth edition, the trail will take you on a journey through 12 spectacular temporary installations, as well as the ever-popular permanent light artworks.
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. See the Winter Lights from Wednesday 17 - Saturday 27 January.
