A reminder that next year St Mary’s Battersea church will be 250 years old. A delightful building with the TP running through the churchyard.

[Janet Gough @Gough_Janet]

Special to be back @lambethpalace with @bethmchattie, hosted by St Mary’s Battersea’s patron @cspencer1508 & Revd Erin Clark, celebrating the church’s upcoming 250th anniversary. A glorious Georgian preaching box on the Thames, with extraordinary stained glass #StainedGlassSunday

The riverside Mayflower pub at Rotherhithe is named after the ship that began its voyage from there in 1620 to carry the Pilgrim Fathers to New England. The current building dates from the 17thC but stands on the site of the 16thC Shippe tavern.

The foundation stone of the original Blackfriars Bridge was laid today in 1760 by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Thomas Chitty. Remarkably, it was the first work of a young (and then unknown) Scotsman. Read here about the creation of the bridge https://t.co/NLAL7icCKe

A standing ovation for 50 years of the National Theatre.

It has challenged us, moved us, made us laugh, and brought millions together through the power of storytelling. An honour to join its anniversary celebrations on the South Bank.

My life is complete. JMW Turner is my favourite artist, Nelson was one of the greatest Englishmen and here was I today sitting on a chair that is an incredible piece of history. In St Mary’s Church, Rotherhithe on a chair made of English Oak from The Fighting Temeraire, the actual ship that appears in Turner’s most famous painting. A ship that was part of Nelson’s fleet at The Battle of Trafalgar. Genuinely a special moment for me.

Good news! The London Fire Brigade is returning home to its purpose-built 1930s riverside HQ🔥

The scheme is a major improvement on the 2 tower blocks proposed for the site - successfully resisted by local community groups, with support from SAVE in 2020 https://t.co/2cG0wmKUWz

RNLI volunteers have rescued a swimmer who got into difficulty in the River Thames in London.

Crews from Wandsworth RNLI pulled the person, who was unharmed, aboard their lifeboat.

Welcome to Oxfordshire Day and the Feast of St Frideswide, who founded her Priory where Christ Church Cathedral now stands. Read about Frideswide, why she is an important person in Oxford's history, and the 'Treacle Well' in Binsey in this blog 👇 https://t.co/3CGhvZEJty
Burne-Jones' stained glass window in the Latin Chapel in the Cathedral shows Frideswide in a pig sty, hiding from her unwanted suitor. @OxTweets @ChCh_Oxford

What do you think about a new temporary route for the Thames Path between Hurley and Marlow? The potential new route was displayed at a public information event hosted by the Environment Agency on 16 Oct. The route requires permissions from private landowners as well work by the Environment Agency to widen weir walkways and provide alternatives to steep steps. Link to the EA survey 🔽
