London’s first official river swimming spot, the Ham and Kingston bathing area, is shut down due to toxic blue-green algae—dangerous cyanobacteria thriving in warm, dry conditions. The Environment Agency warns swimmers and dog owners to stay away, as toxins can cause rashes, illness, and even animal deaths. Water samples are being collected to track the bloom’s spread, with alerts issued to health agencies. Though the site just opened last May as part of a push for safer river swimming, nature’s unpredictability has forced a pause—monitoring continues until it’s safe to return.
