Winter Light

As the dark draws in, the Southbank Centre lights up with its annual Winter Light celebration!

This year visitors to the Queen’s Walk can look forward to a wide range of free outdoor artworks from contemporary artists that play with light and colour, including lots of exciting new commissions.

Regular Winter Light favourites that return once again this year include Jakob Kvist’s glimmering Dichroic Sphere (always a popular photo op spot!), a collection of winter-themed neon shapes in the windows of the Queen Elizabeth Hall designed in collaboration with pupils from local Lambeth schools, and Nathaniel Rackowe’s Desire Lines light installation illuminating the tree canopy lining the river (pictured top).

Meanwhile, new winter light installations include Liz West's Hymn to the Big Wheel and Lee Broom's Beacon.
