Downstream

one weekend a year, has been
a great success, giving us free
access to an area we want to
explore. Other places could
follow, with recent calls for a
year-round beach on the
Thames. The campaign group
Reclaim the Beach argues
that ‘with the water cleaner
every year, it will soon be fit
for swimmers again’ and
suggests one could be below
Victoria Tower Gardens and
another on the South Bank.
