London Scenes: 6: The River

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

James Jones
This evening, in the last broadcast of the series, James Jones is to talk of the sixty-eight miles of the Thames between the Nore Lightship and Teddington - a highway older, longer, more important, and less familiar than any other in London. Mr. Jones has actually lived on London's river for many years of his life, and he knows it backwards-its argot, customs, trades, its beachcombers, police, lightermen. He sees it as a village street on which 100,000 are employed. He is a well-known London journalist, and author of a book called 'The Romance of London's River', published last summer.
