London’s only Lighthouse – Tour with SAVE’s chair Eric Reynolds of Trinity Buoy Wharf<h4>Tuesday, 23rd July 2024 | 18:30 – 20:00</h4>
Join SAVE and Eric Reynolds for a tour of the successful revival of Trinity Buoy Wharf at the mount of the river Lea. Eric will take us on a tour of this vibrant hub, transformed from abandonment to a thriving centre for art, education, innovation and workspace, where restored historic buildings seamlessly blend with modern structures. See the iconic Experimental Lighthouse, where Michael Faraday conducted his optical experiments and discover the SS Robin, the world’s only surviving complete Victorian steamship, a symbol of maritime heritage.
