This fun and engaging walking tour — led by architect and Golden Key Academy graduate Noel Wright — tells the story of several landmark buildings along the south side of the River Thames that have been imaginatively repurposed as part of the area’s radical transformation from an industrial waterfront to a cultural and recreational district. We look at what conditions brought about these bold changes and the different design approaches that informed the transformation of these structures from serving one use to another.
