‘Illuminated River’ is a major art project transforming the Thames at night. The scheme has installed brand new lighting – designed by artist Leo Villareal and architecture studio Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands – on all of the 15 bridges from Tower Bridge to Albert. So far the London Bridge, Cannon Street, Southwark and Millennium Bridges’ have been given a shiny new look, which is set to stay in place for the next decade. See the new-fangled installations up close on these Thames boat tours.

Starting at London Bridge City Pier: Thu Sep 5 and Tue Sep 10: 9.15pm - 10pm
Starting at Tower Bridge Pier: Thu Sep 12 and Thu Sep 19: 9pm - 9.45pm
