Visited here on a Sunday Thames Path walk en route from Canning Town to Greenwich. This little arty enclave is a great surprise find with all sorts of quirky nooks and crannies. For a start there is a lighthouse that hosts the 'Longplayer' - a 1000 year long continuous music composition that you can enjoy inside the lighthouse whilst catching some nice river views. Then there is a strange little shed dedicated to London inventor Michael Faraday alongside a number of quirky art pieces dotted around. Lightship 95 is also moored here - a floating recording studio, where artists like Lana del Rey recorded some of their music. The English National Opera also has some workshops here. There are also a couple of offbeat cafe/diners here including Fat Boys American Diner. When in the area, Trinity Buoy Wharf makes for an interesting short excursion.…

Worth the trip on jubilee Line all the way to Canning Town. 10 minute walk past English National Ballet and new developments some still being built. Went for a party. Quite windy but cool to see the view of o2 arena across the water.

Good to see such a characterful place upgraded well. And THAT VIEW!…

Trinity Buoy Wharf is the site of London's only lighthouse, which incidentally doesn't work anymore. Now the site is a exhibition, art studio and office complex made from recycled sea shipping containers and former naval buildings, hence the name of "Container City". Lots to see and do around this creative hub in East London, but more for professional artists than anything else as it didn't look like you could enter the workshops.…
