The East End Docks at Wapping from the Thames.

London is a city extending on both sides of the Thames.  This vibrant river has been revived in recent years and is the scene of high rise office buildings and trendy condos.

CHANGES OCCUR

Museums close part or all of an exhibit from time to time or other inadvertent happenings may change our schedule of events.

We do our best to overcome these obstacles.
