Do you have an eye for the stories of our heritage, the spirit of the community, the poetry of our waterways or the beauty of nature on the magnificent River Lea? If so, why not enter our Photo Competition?

The Your River Lea Photo Competition is an annual competition run by Cody Dock to showcase the beauty of London’s often-forgotten, second river. It provides an annual archive of the Lea in a period of rapid change and development.

Twelve winning entries will be chosen and will be reproduced in our 2025 Cody Dock Calendar, they will also feature in our annual exhibition for all to see.

On 20th April 2024 we will be unveiling the winners of last year’s competition in our outdoor gallery overlooking the River Lea.
