Inspired by the unique historical background of Ten Trinity Square,Overlooking the Tower Bridge, the penthouse terrace of the Four Seasons Hotel played backdrop to the light show. The show uses 3D lighting animation and music to bring the 5 minutes creative exhibition “When East Meets West”. It tells the viewer about historical moments of the City of London from the Roman era to date, all in ten scenes, including the Roman-era London, London Tower, the London Fire, the East India Warehouse, the Port of London Authority, the beginning of trade growth between East and West, the World War II, the United Nations inaugural meeting, The city’s urban boom, and its present-day appearance.
