LONDON'S LOST RIVERS
with Tom Bolton
Thursday 14th May 2020
Doors open at 6:30 pm, Talk commences at 7:00 pm
When people think of London's rivers, the vast thoroughfare of the Thames immediately springs to mind. But this ancient city was built around other rivers too - and traces of these still remain for those who know where to look.
In this talk, author Tom Bolton unearths a map of hidden waterways that lie beneath our city revealing fascinating anecdotes of the people and events surrounding each location and the story of each hidden river's origins and decline.
