The Lumiere London<\/a>, a free show of more than 50 light-based artworks, scattered throughout central London, starts today and the lights are switched on for the next four evenings, until Sunday 21st. It’s the second running of the event, after the inaugural in January 2016 which led to huge crowds of onlookers on the streets (over a million in total). This year, many more central London roads are closed to traffic, which may make things easier for moving around on foot.<\/p>\n

This year’s event is based on six zones, and there is a simple map (above) showing the zones, and maps for each of these zones (two of these are below). There is also a more detailed map<\/a> (excerpt at bottom) that you can buy for download, and a free app, which is also useful for navigating between the works. In fact, the website map, the pay-to-download map excerpt and the map in the app are all slightly different! Probably easiest just head to the giant ball above Oxford Circus and then follow the crowds.<\/p>\n

We like the stylized zone maps, they have an appropriately night-time\/glowing theme, and should be quite useful to navigate with – or else just follow the lights and look up!<\/p>\n

London Lumiere is promoted by Visit London and organised by Artichoke.<\/p>\n
