Discover River Thames, London

The River Thames is the primary river that flows through central London. At 346 km (215 mi) in length, it is also the second longest river in the United Kingdom, and the longest to be entirely in England. Apart from London, it also passes through other major cities including Oxford, Reading, Kingston upon Thames, Windsor, Henley-on-Thames and Richmond.

The generally accepted source of the River Thames is at Thames Head, a site about one mile to the north of the village of Kemble in Gloucestershire.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
