Back in 2021 the bridges in London became part of the World\u2019s largest public art commission. Entitled \u2018Illuminated River\u2019, nine bridges are uniquely lit in a delightful display. This time of year offers the best opportunity to see the work in all its twinkly glory.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An alternative way to see the illuminations is by taking a relaxing river cruise.
