At #RoyalVictoriaDock pondering how so much #water has seen so little reuse, in so many years. There is hope, but only because I’m an optimist. #swimmablecities

After 10+ years of shouting about a swimmable #Thames & providing solutions for achieving it, I so appreciated the opportunity to give evidence to @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the London Assembly Environment Committee today. It’s time to take action! #SwimmableCities

- Cathedral of the Dormition (Russian Orthodox), Ennismore Gardens. 1849. Lewis Vulliamy & RL Roumieu. Elevation is a very close copy of Basilica of San Zeno, Verona. Inside a bit meh.

First swim of 2025 (a 6.4° brrr) followed by a walking tour of 3 churches to warm up.
- St Columba’s (Church of Scotland), Pont Street. 1955. Sir Edward Maufe. Austere! Softened by two intimate chapels and some good details.
