Hugely enjoyable, very busy waterway but as we weren’t swimming for time it was a jolly nice, though exhausting swim by the end. Plenty of weeds, swimmers with floats and other river action. Post swim delicious picnic with a little drizzle, cake share table (thank-you) coffee by the bridge and explored the museum and garden centre. Lovely day out with our 4 ladies trip out of london.
