Life ring return crates are now at Tower & Westminster Pier giving crews a central place to return life rings recovered from the Thames so they can be safely reused.

If you find a life ring, please return it to a crate 💙

For any Bluesky friends visiting London.
The Thames is tidal through the city and beyond, and the tides are dangerous and swift running. This is the campaign film by the Port of London Authority to help save lives.
