This is the stunning optical illusion that appears to make a much-loved London landmark, in one of the city’s busiest tourist districts, hover in mid-air.
Created by British artist Alex Chinneck and titled ‘Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder’ the breath-taking installation will be on display until 24 October.

But in reality, the display, is a complicated piece of technical wizardry which took months to create.
