This was from over 10 years ago. Each heart had 50 Christmas lamps on a string. Bought at Costco. Special serial protocol to set the colours. All connected via CAN bus to the central box on the far left that has small red LEDs and a big button on the top. Press the button and the lights change.
 
Near Covent Garden this peaceful hideaway park was featured in the movie Last Christmas". We were there 2 years ago and since it was within a 5 minute walk we thought we would visit again.
Anything but peaceful. Constant jackhammer noise from next door. Could barely hear each other.
The bench with the brass tag that said "Look Up", a theme from the movie, was occupied but the two sitting there had no idea what was meant by "look Up". We told them and he jotted the name of the movie in his phone.
Wandering around a city that was first built by the Roman's 2000 years ago is so interesting.
