Where

Junction of the A24 and Longley Road
London
SW17 9LL
United Kingdom

Thames Water released sewage into the Wandle and Graveney rivers 294 
times during 2021. The Wandle is a rare chalk stream but is being damaged by pollution, meaning less wildlife in our rivers. The Government’s response is completely inadequate. Walk with us on 28 January to highlight the sewage in our rivers. 

  • Walkers: meet at 2pm on the A24, junction of Longley Road, SW17 9LL
  • Shorter walkers: 3pm at Earlsfield station
  • Not walking: 4pm at the spot where the Wandle meets the Thames

This is a map of the route. https://goo.gl/maps/aJnBviSnqTgp4YcbA

Google maps says it's approx 4 miles in total and would take 1.5 hours. So with an ambling speed and stopping for admiring drains and wildlife, we'll probably take 2 hours. For those joining at Earlsfield at 3pm, it'll probably be an hour from there. The first half of the route is quite muddy and not completely paved, so wear walking boots or wellingtons, but from Earlsfield it's roads and paths. All welcome! Poo hats and leaflets will be available!
