any one know why the lights were off for most of the skylines? the house of parliment were turned off and various bridges had no lights what so ever and many of the buildings on the south banks were also turned off.

is there some kind of push for governmental buildings to save energy by switching the night lighting off?
 
I read recently that some cities around the world were doing a light off night to highlight climate change.
 
im pretty sure it was earth hour, everyone had to turn lights off for an hour to highlight global warming or something like that!
 
So to highlight global warming a few big places turn off the lights for an hour.

How about they turn them off completely for a number of hours each night, like, when they are not needed for example.
 
Earth Hour is tonight though isn't it? (in 15 minutes)
 
Nope, next Saturday, the 28th at 8:30
 
I live in mayfair. I know that most of oxford st and the area around it is having its power cut for a few hours so that EDF energy can "improve our electricity supply to you". Might have been something to do with that....
