The Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust was set up to hold the land and the vision in trust for the people of London. It holds a 125 year lease and USM in turn has a 124 lease from the Trust. The terms provide for 25% of the Wharf's income to be paid to the Trust to use for promoting arts activity in the area.

To date the Trust has supported / funded many projects including the Isle Of Dogs Music Project (2006 to present), All on the Wharf, Aluna, London International Festival of Theatre Summer Festival, 10yr celebration and various summer schools.

In 1998, Trinity Buoy Wharf was an empty, derelict site. Now it is a thriving centre for the arts and creative industries with a rare community of over 350 like minded people enjoying the unique riverside location.


Free from overdevelopment, the site's fasinating history can still be seen in the buildings, installations and residents such as the Lightships LV93 and LV95 that are moored here.


With careful regeneration, Trinity Buoy Wharf has kept its character whilst offering amenities such as studio and gallery space, a pier, boat club, school, rehearsal rooms and two dining options in the form of Driftwood Cafe and Fat Boys all American diner and 3 of the hugely sustainable Container City buildings.
