The Illuminated River runs through the heart of London along the River Thames and is the longest public art commission in the world.

As the nights draw in, join the City Guides for this evening walk along the River Thames to discover the Illuminated River, the longest public art commission in the world. Each bridge has its own lighting sequence created by artist Leo Villareal and all together they shine a subtle and beautiful light on London.

On this walking tour in partnership with Illuminated River, you'll hear the stories of each bridge and experience their magical light. The walk will take you from Blackfriars Bridge to Tower Bridge and will be 90 min long.

These tours in high demand take place once a month from 6.30pm to 8pm on:

  • Thursday 23rd October
  • Thursday 20th November
