London (United Kingdom): the church floats to its flock

Examples of urban amenities on the water, such as floating restaurants, floating cinemas, and housing boats, are now permanent fixtures in many port cities. In many cases, these amenities are located on reconverted port sites now dedicated to urban functions. Increasing the number of anchorage points within the port and allowing them to be mobile again will help reconnect the city to its port and breathe new life into the waterfront while creating opportunities to preserve scarce or limited land space. In London, a floating church is now part of the urban landscape, creating a mobile space for the community.
