Thames Head to Lyd Well

In the evening I revisited the Source of the Thames hoping to find water pumping out of the stone lined hole, where water does occasionally emerge from underground, but no, it’s still dry and filled with autumn’s leaves. However the river is starting to flow from Thames Head, flowing down the ditch that had been previously dry when I last visited it.  Underground water was surging up from Lyd Well.

Artist / Photographer

I'm a London-based artist and photographer who has explored rivers and waterways by kayak for decades. This website celebrates my photographic journey along the Thames from its source to the Docklands, captured from water level. Now working as an abstract artist, I create paintings inspired by water's beauty and movement, shaped by years of kayaking, diving, and following the flow.

In 2017, I set off on an adventure to explore the entire Thames by kayak, paddling 215 miles from its humble beginnings as a Cotswold ditch near Kemble all the way towards the sea. Getting up close and personal with the water, sometimes literally in it, allowed me to capture intimate images showing how the river transforms and grows as it winds through Oxford, Reading, and London. After showcasing London's waterways in a solo exhibition in 2019, the pandemic sparked a creative shift towards abstract art, though I'm certain my camera and I will eventually reunite to complete the journey to the sea.
