PHOTOGRAPHY: THE TIDE IS LOW

LOW TIDE ON THE RIVER THAMES NEAR FULHAM RAILWAY BRIDGE © GINGER NUT DESIGNS

Up until fairly recently, I did not know that there was a pedestrian crossing on the railway bridge between Fulham and Putney. This is probably because it is quite awkward to get to and is not really signposted. When you finally reach it, there are some good views of the Thames going towards the east, as well as of Wandsworth Park on the south side of the river, and Fulham on the north side. It is also near the starting point of the annual Oxford-Cambridge boat race.

You only realise how deep and wide the river really is at low tide. Not only that, you get a chance to see what is below the murky water. Why people would dump bicycles and shopping trolleys there is beyond me.
