Shard Lights will illuminate the London skyline for a fifth year
The Shard’s annual festive light show will return on Monday, 4 December as the top 20 storeys of the building illuminate the London skyline for a fifth year. With a very special theme that will be unveiled on the first night, Shard Lights will invite Londoners to take a moment out of their busy days, to look up and enjoy Western Europe’s highest art installation during the month of December.
Shard Lights will animate the sky from dusk until early morning with one of five colours each day on rotation. There will be an array of visual effects including gradients, patterns and sparkles throughout the evening. The show will build to a crescendo at midnight and feature special one-off displays to mark the first night and New Year’s Eve.
Michael Baker, CEO of Real Estate Management (UK) Limited (REM), the asset manager of The Shard, said: “As a beacon for modern London, the owners and occupiers of The Shard wanted to make a fitting contribution to this year’s festivities in the capital.
“In an increasingly connected and ’24 hour’ city we hope the lighting display from the top of the building adds to this year’s sense of fun and spectacle for both Londoners and visitors alike.”
