Defending rivers. Challenging polluters…
London Waterkeeper is the truly independent voice for the city’s rivers.
The registered charity has been founded by Theo Thomas, it’s Chief Executive. He was kind enough to give us an interview about what his charity does. He’s a passionate advocate for keeping rivers clean. He’s doing important work and hopefully his message comes across clearly in the film above.
It’s what London Waterkeeper is for that is important – rivers in parks that are free of sewage fungus. Homes that send their waste water only to sewage works and clean efficient industry that abides by all environmental laws.
London Waterkeeper is a member of Waterkeeper Alliance, a global federation fighting for fishable, drinkable and swimmable water.

No one has the right to pollute our rivers and yet we have normalised pollution and become complacent. The health of the Capital’s rivers is compromised – chronic pollution is a daily problem and the systems to tackle it are not in place. (Words & picture from londondwaterkeeper.org.uk)
