Rotherhithe Illuminated ! is a legacy lighting scheme to commemorate Rotherhithe's key role in the Mayflower story

This community-led project will illuminate specific elements of five historic buildings which all fall within the Rotherhithe conservation area. The area is historically very significant, as it is where Christopher Jones, the Master and part owner of the Mayflower lived, died and is buried.

When these buildings are illuminated, the spire of St Mary's church and the chimneys of Thames Tunnel Mills and Brunel’s Engine House will be visible from London Bridge, Tower Bridge, from the Thames Path, from across the river in Wapping, and to people travelling along the river on boats and ships at night.
