UK - London - Photo24 2015 - Kings Cross Light Tunnel 01_panorama_DSC8118

This new light tunnel at Kings Cross Station has been on my 'list' for a while so I was glad to get there during this years #Photo24London event. Despite being mid-afternoon it was mostly deserted but there were just enough people around to add interest to the space.

 

I've less than 12 hours to upload shots to the Competition groups so I'm going to uploading quite a few between now and 6pm.

 

From a Kings Cross Press Release : "A new tunnel, with integrated light wall, opened yesterday at King’s Cross. The 90m long tunnel, which has a LED integrated light-wall running its entire length, was designed by Speirs + Major and delivered by The Light Lab. The tunnel itself has been designed by architects Allies & Morrison and links St Pancras International and King’s Cross St Pancras Underground stations to the new public spaces, restaurants, offices and homes at King’s Cross.

 

Commuters were treated to something a little different on Monday morning, as the tunnel was open to the public, with commuters able to enjoy the debut light installation called Pipette. The dedicated art work on display was created by Miriam Sleeman (The Cross Kings) and Tom Sloan (Tom Sloan Design) and is designed to evoke the colourful tapestry of King’s Cross through a tranquil yet animated design."
