Hi all, cost & info below. Please join everyone for a beautiful 4 mile 'Illuminated River' Thames walk, the longest pub­lic art com­mis­sion in the World!' You can walk whatever miles you wish as there is practically an underground station at every bridge. However, if you choose to walk all the bridges it is a 4 mile walk with the first bridge being 'Lambeth Bridge' all the way to Tower Bridge. This is some brief interesting information on the bridges of London as we go along together.

Ready for Christmas we will see beautiful lit up Christmas Markets, lit up at night beautiful trees, so many bright colours from everywhere that London lights up the dark, a sight to behold! Beautiful areas to photograph and now also the River Thames and London bridges are lit up with the 'Illuminated River' Art Installation.

'Illuminated River' is a long-term art installation transforming the Thames at night with an orchestrated series of light works that span nine bridges in central London. Its subtly moving sequences of LED light symbolically unify the Thames bridges, drawing inspiration from the spirit and history of the river and from the architectural and engineering heritage of its bridges.

Designed and programmed by New York-based artist Leo Villareal, working with British architecture practice Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands plus 18 specialist teams. Rather than flooding the river itself with light, it draws attention to the bridges across the Thames.

Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London:

"From the Fourth Plinth to Art on the Underground, our city has a rich heritage of showcasing public art, and I am delighted that Illuminated River is bringing more free and accessible artwork to Londoners. The Thames has played a key role in the growth and development of our capital for centuries, and this unique artwork will help Londoners and visitors see it in a whole new way. The Illuminated River will celebrate the unique architecture and heritage of our bridges, showcase creativity, boost life at night and transform the way we think about the Thames.
