On the bank of the River Thames and near Leamouth and Bow Creek, Trinity Buoy Wharf in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is the site of London’s only lighthouse. The Elder Brethren of Trinity House used the site in 1803 and the seawall here built by George Mundy of Old Ford was reconstructed in 1822. As a maintenance depot and storage facility the site was used for the many bouys that aided navigation on the Thames. For docking and repair of lightships the wharf was used. In 1852, James Walker, the engineer of Trinity House built the original lighthouse. And in the late 1920s it was demolished. In 1864-66 the surviving lighthouse was built by James Douglass for Trinity House. For Trinity House’s it was used for lighting trials around England and Wales.
