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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
