Exhibitions
Exhibition: The Future of the Thames
17 January - 29 February 1996
Exhibition Interior
The first in the series of exhibitions to
accompany the London in the 21st Century debates featured a
selection of key schemes that would affect the future of the Thames and the capital's central
metropolitan district.
Theses schemes included plans for a cable car over the Thames from
Covent Garden to the Royal Festival Hall, an inhabited bridge with shops, cafes and bars between St. Paul’s and the then
in-construction Tate Modern, a temporary home for the Royal Opera House next to
Tower Bridge, improvements to Hungerford footbridge, and a range of imaginative landscaping ideas for improving public
areas in front of Waterloo Station and along the Thames embankments.
