Who saw the #SwanUpping at #Wallingford on Friday? It's the annual census of the swan population along our stretch of the #Thames. The Swan Uppers weigh & measure any cygnets and check them for any signs of injury. The centuries old ceremony is now important for conservation.

5 days to go until #Paris2024 kicks off - exciting to see #TEAMGB Olympians up on top of the London Eye in South Bank!

The Festival of Britain display area in the Royal Festival Hall at @southbankcentre has gone. It included this wonderful model of the whole south bank festival site, and the story of why the RFH is there and the development of the Southbank

Dropping the pilot. A huge bulk carrier pauses opposite Gravesend on its way upriver to Tilbury, steadied by two tugs. The pilot cutter is the tiny red thing (based on an RNLI lifeboat design) coming alongside to take off the pilot…

A great day for moving house today, it seems... 🛥🏠🌊 #Thames #Twickenham #Houseboat

Having languished in KGV Dock for 18 months the former #RNLI Tower Lifeboat pier is on the move again - @Thamescraft #tug DEVOUT collected the pier and is heading towards Greenwich - hopefully for review / repair rather than dismantling!! #London #Thames #Heritage #dlr_blog
