The Illuminated River

The Illuminated River is a scheme conceived to light the 17 bridges of central London. Supported by the Mayor of London, The Illuminated River Foundation have shortlisted 6 teams who have created individual designs to light up four bridges (Chelsea, London, Waterloo and Westminster) with an overarching masterplan to extend the project between Albert and Tower Bridges.

The winning concept will be developed into a final design in consultation with the public and will look to engage and inspire both Londoners and visitors alike, encouraging us to take a fresh look at London’s incredible bridges and the River Thames.

Make sure you do not miss out on seeing the shortlisted finalists at the Illuminated River Exhibition, open until the 29thof November at the Royal Festival Hall. The winner will be announced on the 8th of December and the first stage of the project is planned to start in 2018!
