As part of this year's London Festival of Architecture (LFA) we are hosting a river cruise along the Thames, identifying some of the most recent and notable landmarks along this famous stretch of water.
The cruise will culminate in a lively discussion at Battersea, where key figures from the worlds of architecture, design and urbanism - including Ian Simpson - will discuss how the river has shaped the identity of London.
This event has been made possible with the generous support of MBNA Thames Clippers and Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC).
