International and local artists teamed up for 2016’s amazing Lumiere London light festival. The city of London was filled with amazing interactive installations that literally stopped traffic, and set Instagram alight. WGSN editor Claire Dickinson went out in the city snapping some of her favourite visual delights from the festival.

Check them out below:

Litre of Light is a collaboration between Mick Stephenson, Central Saint Martins & MyShelter Foundation. The installation is made up of DIY sustainable light bulbs created by filling plastic bottles with water, adding a drop of bleach and pushing it through a hole in the roof to refract as much sunlight as a 55-watt bulb
