Crowds, Light and Lots of Walking at the Lumiere Festival in London

This past weekend was London's first Lumiere Festival - a free event that took place over four evenings where art installations lit up the city.

After an amazing time at the Russell Holiday Party on Friday night, Aaron and I decided to have a low-key Saturday evening. We met some friends at a brewery in the city and then went to the checkout the light festival.

While some of the art was neat to see, the festival in general was a bit underwhelming, to say the least. It was really spread out so you had to walk a lot from one art piece to the next and there were way too many people. Many roads were closed, but it still seemed like all we were doing was navigating crowds and stretching to see the light installations. Plus, it was freezing cold.

Crowds and cold - sounds like the perfect night, right? ; )
