Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and
military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected
to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river
in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon
and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of
human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped
by the city and its inhabitants.
The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:
