What is the River Thames?
The River Thames is a major river which flows through the Thames Valley of Southern England. While this river pales in comparison with epic rivers like the Yangtze, the Nile, and the Mississippi, the River Thames has a very long and illustrious history, and it continues to play a critical role in modern Britain. Many visitors to England end up seeing the Thames, not least because it flows through the City of London, making it hard to miss when one flies into one of London’s airports.
