A mere 30 miles crow's flight from Piccadilly Circus lies a place London largely ignores: the Greater Thames Estuary. It's an ecological and cosmological force hiding in plain sight.

One of its secrets is scale. The estuary rivals London in size. To truly cover it, you need years — exploring north and south banks. From land, sea and sky.

Beyond the Thames estuary coastline lies a maze of creeks and shifting islands, shaped by rivers and tides that change everything, twice a day. Half the terrain vanishes and reappears with North Sea waters No two days are the same. No tide repeats.

London’s Last Wilderness is the visual experience of an explorer landing on an undiscovered planet.

Every shot in the film was captured using truthful documentary techniques—no retakes, no setups. What you see happened once, and only once.

Like the first European explorers in the Amazon or astronauts orbiting the moon, there was no time for rehearsals or scripted reflections. The camera moved with the explorer—fast, focused, in the moment.

Members of the RGS and their guests are most welcome to attend this event. The ticket is HK$200 for RGS Members and HK$250 for RGS members' guests.  This event is free of charge for student members.
