Art After Dark
Art After Dark is part of our award-winning cultural initiative, Art of London, delivered in collaboration with Westminster City Council’s commitment to showcasing art in all its forms through a 3-night event programme.
Since its launch, the programme has featured illuminated art in Leicester Square, a serene night garden in Piccadilly Circus, a Marina Abramović film on the Piccadilly Lights in partnership with the Royal Academy, and Chila Burman’s glowing installation inspired by London’s diverse history. This initiative continues to position the West End as a global hub for arts and culture.

Festive Lights
Festive lights
The West End is lit up with its famed festive lights in Piccadilly Circus, Jermyn Street, Leicester Square and St Martin’s Lane every year.
Partnering with The Crown Estate in recent years to orchestrate the switch-on, this annual event welcomes more visitors to come and experience all the West End has to offer over the festive period.
Launched in 2022, St Martin’s Lane saw its first ever switch on as part of a series of major public-realm art commissions delivered by Art of London. Most recently, the theatrical inspired lights were switch on by the Choir of Man cast and Maddy Moate and saw member businesses offer on street food and beverages alongside a choir performance for visitors to enjoy.=
Ramadan Lights
In 2023, we collaborated with Ramadan Lights and The Aziz Foundation to bring the first Ramadan Lights to the West End to celebrate the holiest month of the Islamic calendar.
Also taking place in 2024 and most recently February 2025, the lights which hang along Coventry Street between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square were switched on with the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan in attendance alongside Westminster City Council.
