SUMMARY:London Rivers Week 2026: Stanley Picker Gallery's exhibition - A Simultaneous Agreement
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to the Stanley Picker Gallery’s exhibition ‘A Simultaneous Agreement’ presented as part of London Rivers Week 2026. The exhibition officially runs from 22 April to 18 July 2026. \nThe Stanley Picker Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am to 5pm (during exhibitions). There’s no need to book a ticket\, just drop in. \nRooted in the Hogsmill River beside the gallery\, the exhibition traces connections between English chalk streams\, Saharan phosphate mines\, and global extraction networks\, foregrounding water as both a life source and contested infrastructure. At its centre is a functioning glass fountain that filters river water inside the gallery\, alongside wearable activated-charcoal sculptures that question the logic and limits of technological purification and circular-economy solutions. \nOperating as both exhibition and civic platform\, the gallery becomes a consultation space and site for live performance\, contributing evidence towards a campaign to designate part of the Hogsmill as bathing water. \nAll under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring a bottle of water.

SUMMARY:London Rivers Week 2026: Barnes Common Riverside Walk [FULLY BOOKED - WAITLIST AVAILABLE]
DESCRIPTION:Join Barnes Common Limited for a free riverside walk as part of London Rivers Week 2026. \nA walk along the Thames Path via Leg O’Mutton Nature Reserve – learn about the ecology and history of this valuable waterside place. \n\n\n\n\nA Bridge to Bridge walk to celebrate London Rivers Week 2026. What better way to celebrate than by taking a walk along this wonderful blue and green corridor? \nBarnes Common Limited deliver nature conservation work on the Leg O’Mutton Local Nature Reserve. This peaceful haven for wildlife was once under threat by development but is now host to a diverse community of flora\, fauna and fungi\, including some saplings planted as part of our project to increase the genetic diversity of Britain’s rarest native tree – the Black Poplar. As we walk\, we’ll discuss this and other conservation practices to protect threatened species and their habitats. \nIt is approximately 3km from Barnes Bridge Station to the foot of the Hammersmith Bridge\, where the talk will end. Participants looking for a longer walk are encouraged to cross the Hammersmith Bridge and turn West to return to Barnes Bridge via the path\, creating a loop of approx 7km. There are several nice places to eat and drink near Hammersmith Bridge if people would like a place to rest after the walk. \nThis walk is suitable for all ages but will be aimed mostly at an adult audience. The path is unpaved and uneven but a mostly firm surface. We aim to walk as a group but we will be mindful of people who would prefer to set their own pace. \nSturdy footwear is recommended and as the event is entirely outdoors\, we remind people to dress appropriately for the weather on the day. Bring a bottle of water or hot drink and a snack with you for the stroll. \nExact location of start point (on the Thames Path opposite Barnes Bridge Station) – https://what3words.com/weedy.fires.hurry \nEnd point – https://what3words.com/rounds.camps.mock \nPlease book your place here.
