Chanukah celebrated on giant Outernet screens in central London
The 23,000 square foot of screens, beamed a message of Happy Chanukah and Chanukah Sameach, in both English and Hebrew, as Sadiq Khan visited the impressive display on Monday
Chanukah was celebrated on the giant screens of Outernet – wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling 1screens outside Tottenham Court Road tube station in central London in a partnership with the Mayor of London.
The tourist attraction, which includes 23,000 square foot of screens, beamed a message of Happy Chanukah and Chanukah Sameach, in both English and Hebrew, as Sadiq Khan visited the impressive display on Monday.
The mayor was photographed with some of the team behind Outernet, including Phillip O’Ferrall, the CEO, as the screen shone brightly across the capital.
Last month the screens had been used to celebrate Diwali before moving on to celebrate holidays and holy days including Chanukah, Christmas, Lunar New Year, St George’s Day, Vaisakhi, Eid and more.
I’m so pleased that the screens of Outernet in central London will be dedicated to wishing everyone observing a very Happy Chanukah.
