So the much-anticipated Lumiere London festival kicks off tonight with King’s Cross very much the focal point, although it engulfs much of the West End too, from Leicester Square up to Piccadilly and Oxford Circus.
The four-day extravaganza, the work of 20 artists, will include Circus of Light, a vast animation across the breadth of the repurposed Granary Building specially commissioned from Portuguese studio Ocubo; and Diver by Ron Haselden, a 17-metre light sculpture at the King’s Cross Pond Club. Take a closer look at both in our gallery above.
To warm the cockles of those exploring, there’s a pop-up Keller Bar on Stable Street, specialising in strong beers for a freezing evening, plus streetfood heroes KERB, running throughout the evening with their Midnight Feast. Other key local joints including Grain Store and Drake & Morgan are offering special menus, drinks and deals throughout the four-day festival.
All together now: “Light up, light up…”
