The Wharf will soon be transformed into a spectacular outdoor light show, illuminated by custom-designed Canary Wharf lights that attract thousands of spectators each year. This interactive experience can also be enhanced with a post-exhibit dinner or drinks with friends to make the most of the Winter Lights extravaganza
