London Lumiere Festival

Recently, the Lumiere Festival took place in London.  30 locations across Mayfair, King's Cross, Piccadilly, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square and Westminster featured light installations over 4 nights.  With hindsight, choosing to visit on the Saturday night wasn't the wisest decision.  But, that was the only night I had, and I thought to myself; it'll be busy, but not that bad.  Turns out it got very busy indeed.  Not quite New Year's Eve busy, but not that far off.  I managed to get to Trafalgar and Leicester Squares, but gave up on the other West-end sites, due to the tide of humanity standing in my way.  I got to a (relatively) quieter Westminster Abbey, before heading to King's Cross.  At King's Cross I particularly enjoyed an installation that projected colours onto the crowd.  But not long after that it started to rain and I headed for home.
