Join Katie Wignall, Blue Badge Tourist Guide, on a virtual exploration created especially for ARTscapades of the capital's river crossings. Ever since London was founded, people have needed to traverse the Thames and the varied history of these bridges give us an insight into the evolution of the city.
Using high definition video, images and live commentary — we will focus on the bridges within the bounds of the City of London, from the world-famous Tower Bridge to the hidden delights of Blackfriars. Bridges are not just practical but they express the architecture of the time and give us hints about the past (as well as the occasional engineering mishap).
Expect fun facts and surprising stories from the most iconic of London's bridges!
This is an online event hosted on Zoom which can be watched live with Q&A, or on-demand for one month afterwards. You will receive your link to access the event in your email confirmation and the on-demand link after the event ends.
