At the end of Mill Street, Bermondsey, is a stone archway with a metal gate and a sign: TOWER BRIDGE MOORINGS. A wooden walkway, suspended above the Thames, leads to a cluster of about 40 boats: Dutch barges, commercial tugs and ex-Thames lighters transformed into floating gardens.
There is a bike barge, a beehive, an open-air events space and the Arts Ark, with a grand piano set against the dramatic backdrop of Tower Bridge.
