Well spotted ! This is no more than an advertising hoarding. Let’s banish them from London.

Quite right - and think about the potential for new green space and waking routes, as well as the successful regeneration of #thamesmead over the river...

This is a photo of London's light pollution at night! 🌃

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the stars, but fear London is so affected by light pollution that many are denied this opportunity.

Did you know that just 3% of people in England enjoy truly dark skies?

A starry sky is an incredible sight, but too often light pollution hides our view of the stars.

In our Spring Newsletter, @CPRE supporter Isabelle Ficker discusses the damage of #LightPollution in the Hampstead Garden Suburb due to use of ‘Cool White’ 4000K streetlights.

While there are some areas of relative darkness within #London, we must work for them to be expanded!

A dark starry sky is a truly magical sight.

But 61% of people that took part in @CPRE's #StarCount could see ten stars or fewer within Orion – this indicates severe light pollution.
