About this Event

Since their launch the Illuminated River bridges have been creating an evocative display every evening from dusk until 2.00am.

Come and see the final five in the artwork: Blackfriars Road, Waterloo, Golden Jubilee, Westminster and Lambeth

The world’s longest public art commission, this public artwork has been paid for by private, philanthropic sources - an incredible gift to London.

New York-based artist Leo Villareal’s subtle display of slowly moving light sequences forms his vision to create a unified series of evocative lighting sequences across the bridges, reflecting their cultural and historical contexts.

Along the walk your Guide will tell you about the artwork and the engineering involved in the project along with the stories of the bridges along the way. The Guides leading these walks are accredited by the 'Two Cities' of London and Westminster as these illuminated bridges cross the boundary! You will meet us to start the walk in the City of London and we'll end in the City of Westminster.

We try to make our walks as inclusive and accessible as possible and use lifts to access the riverside path, but please be aware this walk is after dark and some surfaces are uneven.
