From the winter lights at Canary Wharf to the Mars installation at Old Royal Naval College, London’s post-Christmas winter lights displays are really putting on a show in 2025. Next up? The Battersea Power Station Light Festival, which will glow into action at the end of this month and feature four artworks not previously seen in London (or the wider UK).
This will be the fifth time that the old, revamped power station has held its winter lights festival, and it’ll run from January 23 to February 23. Featured will be eight installations, and best of all – it’s all entirely free to visit.
Notable installations include a massive spider made up of 80 smaller spiders (yikes!), a mechanical cyborg and a gigantic, partially unravelled ball of yarn. There will also be a series of stalls open for food and drink.
It might be easy to forget that, not too long ago, Battersea Power Station was one of London’s great derelict structures. It fell into disuse in the 1980s but in 2012 it was bought by developers and in 2022 it opened as a complex with restaurants, bars and apartments.
