What's New
Watch our recorded presentation of our Outer Hebrides, Scotland lighthouse tour.
Where the River Lea meets the River Thames, is London’s only lighthouse. The Experimental Lighthouse was used by Trinity House, the English lighthouse authority, for the training of lighthouse keepers. The scientist Michael Faraday also carried out experiments there. Musician and composer Jem Finer has repurposed the lighthouse in a unique way. Jem Finer’s ambient sound piece called Longplayer started playing in the lighthouse just as the year 2000 began. It won’t repeat until midnight on December 31, 2999.
