I recently noticed the landscaping around the imax cinema, on the walkway/ subway through from waterloo to south bank. The use of lighting combined with the almost jungle like climbing plants give a really different effect which really struck me as i walked through having never really paid much attention to it before, maybe the time of day i was there or the light but it looked awesome.
i found it difficult to capture in a photo but the plants are shown well even if the lighting doesn't look so good.
The lighting is different in each of the subways and also changes from colour to colour, It sounds and probably should be really tacky, but for some reason it looks good. The plants are draped to almost cover the gap, blocking out the daylight and creating a green ceiling, this creates the illusion of the space being enclosed and also enhances the effect of the lighting.
