River Thames The River Thames is the major river of the southern counties of Great Britain. It is best known because its lower reaches flow through central London, but the river flows alongside several other famous towns and cities, including Oxford, Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Windsor, Kingston upon Thames and Richmond, and then many riverside towns and suburbs of the metropolitan conurbation.
