Illuminated River is a large-scale public art commission which lights up nine bridges in central London across the River Thames.[1][2][3] Designed by American artist Leo Villareal in collaboration with British architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, it uses LED light fittings to produce sequenced patterns of moving light across the bridge structures.[4]
At 3.2 miles (5.1 km) in length, it is one of the world’s longest ever public art commissions.[5] The first phase – Southwark Bridge, Millennium Bridge, London Bridge and Cannon Street Bridge – was launched on 17 July 2019. It was completed in April 2021 with the illumination of Blackfriars Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Golden Jubilee Footbridges, Westminster Bridge and Lambeth Bridge.[6] The installation has a minimum lifespan of 10 years.[7]
