For the past few weeks, Somerset House has played host to a curious experience: the River Thames. Passageways around the courtyard and under the building are currently home to River Sounding, an art installation by Bill Fontana. The exhibition tells the audiovisual story of the river, combining projected images and sounds of the water and its engine-powered inhabitants to create a unique, haunting experience.

The exhibition continues until 31 May and is free of charge. Somerset House is located on the Strand.
