'It's got to be Doctor Who' - Locals react to mysterious beam of light over central London
Londoners were left confused after spotting a mysterious ray of light coming from central London last night.
All eyes seemed to be on the inner city last night as Londoners across the capital reported sightings of a bizarre beacon of light.
On Tuesday (October 15), locals from across the city shared snaps on social media of a bright light appearing to come from central.
Photos picture a blue ray shining up into the city’s night sky, with Londoners having since wondered why it was lit up.
In a thread on the r/London subreddit, users joked about what the light could be.
From aliens to Doctor Who, others compared the light to the beam at Minas Morgul in the Lord of the Rings movies.
One user managed to track down the light as they showed it was coming from a powerful projector based outside The Chancery Rosewood hotel by Grosvenor Square.
Another Redditor went on to highlight that the venue was actually hosting a gala event on Tuesday evening which may have been why the light was on.
