What people say about Bureau of Silly Ideas
The lighting installations in the road works at night were especially successful, with large crowds gathering around to watch in disbelief as the ordinary, boring construction site came to life with lights and a water feature.Anastasia Dialianis, 2012 Development Officer, London Borough of Lambeth
