It forms the first phase of a multi-stage process and partnership for delivering a world-class vision for the Thames.
“Over centuries, The Thames has driven our growth and development as well as shaped our identity as a city. Today it hosts internationally-renowned festivals and major art commissions, but it’s clear there is more we can do to make the most of this destination. This report sets out an ambitious vision, a road map for partners and the public to join forces and put the river at the heart of our cultural life.”
