Does anyone know the details of why the lifts (elevators) at the #Woolwich and #Greenwich foot tunnels under the #Thames are so often out of order? I mean I guess the broad reason is lack of money for maintenance but is there a specific reason, is it something that can be fixed, or is this just a case of crumbling Victorian infra that will never work well?
in #1970s and #1980s #Britain, we had a kids #TV show called #Rainbow (made by #Thames #Television in #London) with 3 puppet characters (all gendered male) - not only would all 3 share a bed at the end of the night, but the #bear would put on pyjamas (so the rest of the day he was walking around completely naked other than his fur 
). Also George the #hippo was pink and had an obviously camp accent

Mayor Sadiq Khan has brought together a landmark coalition of government, businesses, charities, and community groups to improve #London’s #rivers. Over £1.8 billion will be invested in the next five years to clean and protect the capital's #waterways. Key initiatives include £7.15 million in funding to reduce road run-off pollution, improve flood resilience, and support large-scale rewilding projects. #Thames Water is investing £1.8 billion in river health, including tackling sewage overflows on tributaries. #London #Wildlife Trust will invest £800,000 in local #river projects. The Mayor’s initiative also addresses inequality in access to natural spaces, with research showing lower-income and Black/Asian communities are less likely to visit waterways. This collaboration aims to make rivers cleaner, more accessible, and beneficial for both people and wildlife, aligning with Sadiq's 10-year Clean and Healthy Waterways Plan.

Have you seen this? #EdPratt is kayaking down the river #Thames from source to sea. He's also the same guy that rode his #unicycle around the World too. Really cool to watch.

That is quite the image. I can see the film scene, a long take of Pepys and his two colleagues in their journey on the river, no words spoken, then the view of the dead body on the stairs seen from the boat, still no words spoken.
I’m obsessed with a historic shipwreck: it’s murky and dangerous but #diving in the #Thames, I feel like a detective - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/19/im-obsessed-with-historic-shipwreck-the-london-oliver-cromwell "Hardly anyone is allowed to dive recreationally in the Thames, because it is so black and murky and dangerous.

London 
The washed-away Thames footpath at 6pm today between Richmond and Kew, an hour after high tide. The path between the river and the large pond on the other side has just vanished because the wet land/pond overtopped the path and has just eroded that bank away. The bike owner said he'd been watching it for 1h and the water had come down about a metre in that time. So I guess that section of the river (between Kew & Richmond) is going to be impassable for a while.
