OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF LONDON 2012
The Thames has a length of 215 miles (346 Milometers), with its source at 'Thames Head about a mile north of the village of Kemble and near the town of Cirencester in the Cotswolds. It then flows pas Oxford (where it is known as the River Isis), until the Chilterns
and on through London to the North Sea. This makes it England's longest river.
The twentieth century saw a huge decline in the use of the River Thames for trade, resulting in the Isle of Dogs Docklands area in particular changing out of all recognition . Iconic images such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and London Bridge are a few of the world-famous landmarks sited by the river.
