Old Father Thames is famous for its history, its culture and its amazing variety. Based on its size, a mere 215 miles, from its source in the Cotswolds through to the estuary at Southend it should hardly evoke great passions.

But ask a Londoner what is the city’s greatest asset, or one of the many boaters in a punt or cruiser, or a man from rural Oxford what they think and you will be find a great number of reasons to spend time by the Thames.
