Departing from Crown Pier close to Blackfriars Bridge, the tour will see Benedict O'Looney — Open City’s specialist Architecture on the Thames guide — share the microphone with Graham King, Town Planner with over 45 years experience of planning in three London boroughs including City of Westminster (1984-2021). King’s background includes leading on major public realm upgrades and city-wide guidance on transport and infrastructure schemes such as the Hungerford footbridges, Elizabeth Line, Thames Tideway Tunnel and regeneration projects at Paddington and Victoria.

This afternoon tour along the River Thames will see Graham bring a fresh perspective to the capital’s riverside architecture, speaking alongside our regular guide Benedict O'Looney, a practicing architect based in Peckham and teacher at the prestigious Architectural Association, whose deep insight and thoughtful commentary on all aspects of London’s architecture is widely admired amongst his fellow professionals.

While Benedict will survey the landmark architecture of central London’s embankments and the skyline beyond, Graham – will share his expertise including a range of development and policy casework, including the Tall Buildings Study.

This unique tour promises a rich and engaging experience, blending heritage conservation with contemporary architectural insights.
