Riversniffers covers life in the area bordering the Thames from Barnes to Sunbury.
The term Riversniffers was coined by John Foster, the one-time (and now long-departed) landlord of the White Swan in Richmond. He used it to describe the hordes of day trippers who invaded his pub at weekends in search of a day out at the end of the District Line.
Like John Foster’s original riversniffers, the contributors to this site came because they liked the river and the open spaces. Unlike the daytrippers, however, they stayed on.
