Join us!

For an incredible, open-air photography exhibition on
the banks of the River Thames for
London Rivers Week

May 23rd – May 31st
Formal launch, May 23rd: 2pm

Standing by the Thames is a photography series by Matthew Joseph.

Commissioned by Tideway, the company behind London’s super sewer, the exhibition explores seven newly created public spaces along the river.

The series pairs intimate portraits of the people behind the project with expansive panoramas of the spaces – helping reconnect Londoners with the Thames.

Accompanying the images are short stories exploring the varied backgrounds and experiences of those featured in the exhibition, alongside reflections on the new public spaces they have helped create along the river.

The photographs will be on display on Bazalgette Embankment from 23–31 May as part of London Rivers Week, an annual campaign co-run by Thames21 celebrating London’s rivers and the projects helping protect them.
