Londoners will be able to catch some rays at a new display opening at Greenwich’s Old Royal Naval College this week.

Brighter days are on the horizon in the capital as a new sun themed display is set to arrive at the Old Royal Naval College this weekend.

Helios in the Greenwich venue’s Painted Hall will light up the mesmerising room which is filled wall to ceiling with masterpieces from this Saturday (January 25).

Named after the ancient Greek and Roman sun god, the seven-metre celestial artwork will be suspended in the centre of the Painted Hall for all to view at all angles.

Bringing the burning star to the capital, Helios created by artist Luke Jerram is a 1:200 million scale of the sun meaning visitors can really take in its detail without damaging their eyes.

The sun inspired artwork will be on display at the Painted Hall at Greenwich’s Old Royal Naval College until March 25.

Across its stint at the Greenwich venue, it will be at the centre of a few events including a Valentine’s dining experience, a meditation session and even a silent disco.

Those wanting to see it in all its glory can book a visit for one of the events or a day trip on the Old Royal Naval College website. Tickets start from £16.50.
