Tour Summary:

The importance of the river Thames, its role in over two thousand years of London history, and the modern scale of the locality for us represents a full palette of possibility for photographers.

This tour offers a wide range of opportunities with a rich tapestry of culture, vibe and energy in an ever changing environment as viewed from the iconic bridges that connect the north and south banks of the river Thames.

This tour starts at St Paul’s Cathedral and moves onto the river starting with the Millenium Bridge – from this point there are two options available.

You can choose to head west and take a route that threads along the South Bank to Westminster Bridge , the Houses of Parliament and then back to the Leake Street Tunnel.

Alternatively, you can choose to head east from Southwark Bridge to the Tower Bridge and the St Katherine’s dock area.

Both routes encompass a variety of river views from different locations on different bridges, you will be introduced to the fantastic photographic scope that this great location offers. Within this landscape we will encounter views both ‘up’ and ‘down’ the river capturing, exploring, and photographing modern and historic river sights and buildings.
