Canary Wharf is worth a visit at any time of the year.

During January 2017, there is an additional reason to make the trip, as the Winter Light Festival returns, with 30 spectacular installations and sculptures, designed by artists from four continents.

The displays are best viewed between 4.00pm and 9.00pm.

Highlights include a live graffiti weekend with work crafted from light (Jan 19-21) and ‘Angels of Freedom’ which sees five giant wings created by Merav Etan and Gaston Zahr that allow visitors to transform into angels using photography and social media.

All the installations are engineered to be as energy efficient as possible, using LED technology.

Visit the Winter Lights website for more information, and to download the full brochure.
