There are plans for an LED video installation on a City bank of the Thames in London.
It is designed to be viewed from Tate Modern on Bankside and would be on all the time except between 1am and 7am.
Only London SE1 has the story so far.
BBC London will be featuring the River Thames this week at 6.30pm on BBC1.
Plans for Enderby’s Wharf to become a cruise liner terminal have been submitted to Greenwich Council.
The early Victorian Enderby House associated with General Gordon would be incorporated into the development but locals are not happy. Nearby Lovell’s Wharf is already closed for along period.
The best view of the Enderby’s Wharf proposals can be seen on the Docklands 24 site.

Looking across from City Hall to the Tower of London at low tide one can wonder about the age of the much-repaired river wall.
Where did the moat enter the Thames up to the 19th century?
The FROG blog has some interesting observations.

Author Christina Hardyment has been sailing up the Thames and a week ago with much effort made it to Cricklade by punt.
She has now written up her blog. Her tales of stopping at the Red Lion at Castle Eaton, ordering a taxi to link up with a rare bus and visiting Kelmscot Manor will make interesting reading to those of us who have ventured upstream.
It’s good to hear about the painting restoration at Ingelsham Church.

Christina’s report makes me want to get back to the Oxfordshire and Wiltshire Thames now.
