Find out what has been done in recent years to restore London’s rivers and improve access to nature. Where has river restoration taken place? What are the success stories? What benefits has this brought in terms of biodiversity, climate resilience and wellbeing? What are the key challenges and where are the future opportunities to continue river restoration in London?

The discussion will be informed by new mapping of river restoration which has recently been carried out by GiGL - Greenspace Information for Greater London.

This is an online event hosted by CPRE London as part of London Rivers Week.

Come and join a discussion with experts Dave Webb from the Environment Agency, Mathew Frith from the London Wildlife Trust, Jamie Kukadia from the LB of Enfield, Petra Sovic Davies from the SE Rivers Trust, and John Miles from the Haringey Rivers Forum. Chaired by Neil Sinden, Director of CPRE London.
