General
This section regroups all other types of features that are waiting to be discovered along the banks of the Thames
Natural
Crossing practically the whole of Southern England from West to East, the River Thames has carved its way through a wide range of natural environments. Rolling flatlands, marshes, valleys, forests and on through modern day towns and cities to the wind-swept east to the North Sea, the River Thames grows in strength, breadth and depth until it reaches the tidal section from Teddington onwards. Here the freshwater Thames merges into the salt-water Thames and the daily routine is driven by the tides.

Navigation
As long as man has lived on its banks, the River Thames has always been a prime travel artery offering a rapid, if dangerous in the past, means to travel east to west and vice-versa. This came to a height between the 17th and 20th centuries where the Thames drove Britain to conquer the world through its Industrial might. Today, Britons are rediscovering the Thames, firstly through leisure activities such as punting, rowing, sailing and barge trips but also through an increasingly active commuting and merchandise transport. Find out more about the different transport options available today in this section.
Tourist
As well as being a significant geographical feature in the British environment, the River Thames traces a line through Britain's history, having been at the heart of many of the defining moments in the past, present and most likely in the future. From Royal dissention, through battles, natural disasters and industrial might, the Thames as been the powerhouse for the growth of Britain and the spread of its influence to the four corners of the world.
