Thames Lens turns Bazalgette Embankment into a free outdoor photography exhibition, showing different perspectives on London’s river and the people connected to it.

What will you see?

The display includes winners and runners-up from the Thames Lens photography competition, images marking 30 years of the Thames Path, portraits of people who built London’s super sewer and a collage of river views from 20 Fenchurch Street.

Because it is outside, it is easy to combine with a riverside walk and does not require a fixed arrival time.

Useful questions

Do I need a ticket?
No. This is a free outdoor exhibition.
Can I visit in the evening?
The organiser gives dates rather than daily opening hours. Visit in daylight for the clearest view of the photographs.
