Swan Upping
Swam Upping is the annual census of the swan population on the River Thames. This takes place every July. The Queen’s Swan Marker and the accompanying Swan Uppers of the Vintners’ and Dyers’ Livery Companies use six traditional Thames rowing skiffs in their journey upstream, where they make a stop at Temple Mill Island to record our local swan population.
