"The updated 'The State of the Thames' report by #ZSL highlights how decades of dedicated action have bettered the #Thames for people and nature – including beloved species such as harbour porpoises and wading birds. These improvements include lower concentrations of toxic metals, more ‘breathable’ water for the river’s underwater wildlife, and new riverside walkways and nature habitats along its banks that are enjoyed by #London’s residents and visitors.
"The report also shows how rapidly regulation can bring benefits; plastic cotton bud sticks, once one of the most commonly found litter items in the Thames, have all but disappeared from its shores following the UK’s sale-ban in 2022."

Will loved spending his evenings down by the #docks with her, the views were lovely, watching the planes land was cool, they could talk for hours about anything and nothing. So hard to find that nowadays.
She was a #ghost - died 20 years ago. But he didn't care.

Charing Cross Bridge - Fog on the Thames (1903) by Claude Monet (1840 - 1926). Between 1899 and 1901, Monet visited #London three times. He rented the same room on the sixth floor of the Savoy Hotel on the Victoria Embankment and painted the view from his window of south London and the Thames. The resultant works - more than a hundred paintings and twenty pastels - formed the largest series he had produced to that date.

Anyone at #UCL or Port Authority #London tell me about this cute science robot boat-car that was pootling around Surrey Docks earlier today?
Enjoyed watching it on my bike ride.
