yeah, we were briefly there a few weekends ago. after he had cut down the rope swing, the park ranger told us that the river is (usually, at least) very heavily polluted and there's a real risk of Weil's disease. doesn't seem to have put off the swimmers though.
We were cycling through Hackney Marshes today for our lunchtime exercise and heard a commotion on the other side of the river....
