River Thames was the key public space at that time as it connects people and closely relate to the londoners daily life before bridges and tunnel being built. As times goes by, especially with the recent gentrification in London which forms an intangible wall by a series of luxury buildings that mostly own by foreigners that separates the river and the local community. Therefore, the project aim to accommodating different events on the river in order to encourage people to reclaim the right into the water.

The most common are coffee and tea. Compared to coffee, tea is more healthier with its less amount of caffine and large amount of antioxidants. Apart from that, tea has its own long history in UK. It has been traded to UK since 1600. Therefore, in order to reminds people about part of this important British history and culture, the intitute of tea is found. The scheme of the Institute aims not only to provide a specialized area to drink green tea, but also to provide the public an opportunity with the means to grow tea plant (cameilla sinesis) and process them in central london, futhermore, to explore the functions of tea incuding beauty and stress relief. Thus,the institute is created for celebrating the obsession of tea that the uk has had in the past. In order to allow the public have more opportunities to understand about tea, the Institute has a series of allotments for the public to grow their own tea plant, process them and also to know other functions of tea through different workshops held by the expertises in the tea council. Tea Foot Spa is one of the key feature in the institute of Green Tea. It provides a relaxing space for people in london who suffering stress.
