I used JPG, and experimented with the trade-off between ISO and exposure time on Manual Exposure, finding that 15s at ISO 200 was the best. The picture was taken from the bottom of the clock tower. One can't go to Chapel with a tripod, so I only had my mini-tripod in my pocket, which meant the photo was taken from only 20cm above ground level and several attempts at aiming were necessary. By then my fingers were freezing and it was time to go home. I cropped out much blank sky at the top and also some of the cobbles in front of the manhole cover at the bottom. Other than that I did not edit it, but I'll take up your suggestion. I don't know what caused the blue streak in the sky to the right.

Did you shoot it in RAW? Maybe there's a bit more detail in the lights, and you could push the greenish feeling of it a bit more.
