RIVER OF LIFERunning through the heart of London, Thames is one of the most famous rivers in

the world. Along its banks people have been entertained, romanced and inspired for centuries. Whether you are in search of a riverside event, pub or a relaxing meal, Fletchers

ABOUT THE RIVERThe Thames has three areas of outstanding natural beauty and is the longest river entirely in England with 45 locks along with more than 25 species of fish. Starting as a trickle in the Cotswolds the river travels over 210 miles through the heart of some of England’s

most picturesque towns, right into the centre of London and eventually, out into the North Sea.

THAMES HISTORIC BARGE ROWING EVENT4 July 2015This event showcases the skills of Watermen and Lightermen in navigating under oars, using only their strength, experience and the tide to propel their craft. Starting from Greenwich Pier it is a 7-mile course that finishes at Westminster Bridge.
