A beautiful new way to connect Londoners to the river: the Thames Pulse
Animated Thames health update in lights
An innovative light display - Thames Pulse - has been launched recently, giving Londoners and visitors a daily, highly visible update on the river's health for the first time.
The lighting display, on the iconic Sea Containers building on the South Bank, displays one of three patterns based on whether the water quality is improving, static or declining compared to the previous day's data reading.
It's also accompanied by a daily Twitter feed @ThamesPulse, and is the result of a collaboration between Thames21 and media agency MEC UK (based at Sea Containers) to raise awareness about the health of the River Thames.
Each evening, the lighting on the river frontage of Sea Containers changes to display a pattern that reflects the river water quality in Central London, creating a visualisation of the data taken directly from the Thames. This conveys the important message that the health of the Thames fluctuates and is not fixed.
