Description

Join us as part of London Rivers Week 2024 for a short film screening of Jack Thurgar’s ‘The Swamp’ and talk by Tom Bolton on 'obscure rivers'.


Thurgar's film explores a secret wild patch of land where a tributary of the River Quaggy flows through and feeds a large pond there. The film is made of footage he filmed over a period of 20 years.


Have you heard of the Bollo Brook, the Black Ditch, the Moselle or the Falcon? Author Tom Bolton has tracked London rivers through the modern streetscape that you may have never heard of. He will talk about the traces they have left behind them, and how they open up both the past and the present.
