This afternoon tour along the River Thames surveys the landmark architecture of central London’s embankments and the skyline beyond
Departing from Crown Pier close to Blackfriars Bridge, the tour first ventures upriver to Nine Elms, taking in the newly restored Battersea Power Station and Kieran Timberlake’s American Embassy. Then heading downriver, our guide will explore the design and history of Michael Hopkins' imposing Portcullis House, the Neo-classical Somerset House and Renzo Piano's Shard, among many other landmarks before returning to Crown Pier.
This unique riverside tour offers a fresh perspective on London’s emerging and established skyline and is led by our specialist guide Benedict O'Looney. Benedict's in-depth knowledge – founded on his work as a practicing architect based in Peckham and a teacher at the prestigious Architectural Association – guarantees deep insight and thoughtful commentary.
