Trinity Buoy Wharf review Rate it
Trinity Buoy Wharf is the site where all the buoys and markers for the English coast were once made and repaired. The site was rescued from dereliction and now its lighthouse (the only one in the capital) overlooks a growing creative community. Preserving the Grade II-listed warehouses, the developers have constructed artists' studios, offices and a riverside café from recycled shipping containers, and transformed the lighthouse into an unusual art venue. They've also forged relationships with London's art colleges, whose students are delighted to have access to the site's large spaces for ambitious projects. LIFT (London International Festival of Theatre) has its offices at Trinity Buoy Wharf, and the fleet of Thames Clippers is based here - at London's longest pier which was built almost entirely from recycled materials. Highlights include a nostalgic '40s food joint, FatBoy's Diner, and what may be London's smallest museum, The Faraday Project. Housed in a tiny wooden hut, it's devoted to the Victorian scientist Michael Faraday who conducted experiments into electric lighting in the lighthouse in 1863. Jem Finer's 'Longplayer' is a musical composition playing in real time, without repetition, over the course of a millennium, is also housed here.
