London Rivers Week Events
Events
London Rivers Week celebrates the capital’s many rivers, lakes and streams and helps you find them. This year it features a mix of socially-distanced riverside and online events, including webinars, river walks, river clean-ups and a special podcast.
If an event is fully booked then it’s still worth getting in touch to add your name to the next one. And if you head over to the London Rivers Week page you’ll find inspiring guided walks, hands-on river clean-ups, vibrant cultural events, dynamic webinars, and plenty of fun, family-friendly activities to sign up for.
