Sun to Brighten the most Depressing Day

Monday 23 January is considered the most depressing day of the year.

For one day and one day only an installation by art collective Greyworld that replicates the effects of the sun will be raised by crane 56m high above Trafalgar Square, the installation gives off more than four million lumens of light – the equivalent of 260,000 lightbulbs, to brightening up a cold, dark winter day.

The Trafalgar Sun has taken six months to create, will be 30,000 times bigger than a football and weigh over 2,500kgs (two and a half tons!). The sun will rise an hour early at 6.51am and set at 7.33pm, extending the daylight in Trafalgar Square by two hours.

The Trafalgar Sun, Trafalgar Square, London, from 5.57am until 7.33pm on Monday 23rd January

Pimlico Carboot Sale

Carboot Recycling Center

Carboot Recycling

 

In addition to Pimlico’s established Markets a new asset for the community was started exactly a year ago last Sunday, and has grown to be a London phenomenon.

Every Sunday Capital Carboot holds it’s Carboot sale at Pimlico Academy, near Pimlico tube station in central London.

This is a sophisticated cosmopolitan Carboot attracting a younger crowd, many of whom deal in vintage fashion and collectables –  brands like Isabel Marant, Mulbery, Luella handbags, plenty of records, books, clothes, shoes, jewellery and homeware, and features more than a hundred sellers on a good day.

The market has both indoor pitches and outdoor,  recycling facilities onsite, and there are also toilets for visitors.

Indoor stall holders should arrive at 9:30am if coming in a vehicle to unload. Unloading vehicles will not be allowed on site after 10:00am, outdoor stall holders without vehicles should arrive 10:00am, outdoor stall holders with vehicles to remain in the sale should arrive 11:00am.

Early bird buyers entry is 10:00am (£5), and is recommended if you want to buy the bargains.

Public entry is 12:00pm until 3:30pm (£1).

Full details of the Pimlico Carboot sale are on the website http://www.capitalcarboot.com/ and you can also follow news of the Pimlico Carboot sale on Twitter and Facebook

There is occasionally free entry at 12:30 for those who know the password, and I will post the password in our London Forum.
