Over a sociable glass of warming mulled wine, the landscape studio visited the night time illuminations at Kew Gardens. The range of light installations was amazing – from simply up-lighting fantastic veteran trees (some complete with roosting peacocks) to kinetic lights, fires, sculptural lanterns and ‘The Hive’ picked out in subtle colour. The end of the tour saw the Victorian glasshouses and lake forming a backdrop for a laser display. If you’re interested to visit, it’s running until 2 January 2017 and you can book tickets here.
