London River

A series of linked sketches and short narratives centers on the river and its working community, portraying foreshore haunts, shipyards, taverns, and voyages. Observational vignettes focus on sailors, ship-runners, and shorefolk whose lives are shaped by tides, traditions, and the waning era of sail. Episodes trace small incidents—trials, departures, and gatherings—that reveal local memory, practical humour, and the tensions between modern commerce and older maritime craft. The tone is quietly elegiac and attentive to detail, mapping social networks and landscape while reflecting on continuity, change, and the intimate rhythms of riverside existence.
