London lighthouse

London’s only Lighthouse

London is located a long way from the sea, 35 miles to be exact, so it’s surprising to find a lighthouse here.

London’s only lighthouse can be found at Trinity Buoy Wharf where the River Lea meets the River Thames.

The lighthouse was built between 1864-66 and was not used to guide ships at all. It was built to test lighthouse lamps and new technology,

The building now hosts the ‘Longplayer’, a 1000 year long continuous music composition.
