I’m sure I’m not alone when I admit Greenwich is one of my favourite parts of London. It’s history, architecture, views and atmosphere make it one of the capital’s most attractive areas, drawing both tourists and Londoners alike.

Many of us (myself included) lament winter for the long dark nights and overall gloominess. However, it’s these conditions that can make decorative lighting all the more alluring. After the Christmas decorations come down in early January, it can feel a bit drab. However, for two weeks in January, Canary Wharf gave us a bit of neon love […]
