Stay Back, Stay Out, Stay Safe - Don’t Mess With the River Thames Campaign

The River Thames may look calm, but beneath its surface lies a powerful tide that can overwhelm even the strongest swimmers.

To help prevent accidental drownings involving children and young people, the Port of London Authority (PLA) is launching a summer safety campaign.

The Thames is not a playground. It is not a safe place to swim, paddle, or play near – at any time.
