Illuminated River Project
Smile on Saturday - City by Night
London Bridge looking South/East with The Shard in the background.
'Illuminated River' has been a long-term art installation transforming the river Thames at night with an orchestrated series of light works that span nine bridges in central London. The 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.
Illumination of the first 4 bridges was in 2019 and 5 more were completed in April 2021. At 3.2 miles in length it is the longest public art commission in the world and will last for at least 10 years. The Foundation will fund all maintenance, replacement and electricity costs.
