• The height of the source is 110 m above sea level. Length-330 km, catchment area-14,250 km2. The average water flow rate at the Tiddington-Kingston hydrological station is 78.5 m3 / s.

• It originates on the Cotswold Hills at an altitude of 108.5 m it flows within London, flows into the North Sea, forming an estuary. The width of the river within London is 200-250 m, the width of the estuary is from 650 m (near the eastern edge of London) to 16 km (near the mouth). Food is rain-fed. The average water flow in the lower reaches is 260 m3/s, the maximum-in winter.

• Icing is observed only in very cold winters. The lower course of the Thames is affected by tides (their height in London is up to 6-6. 5 m), which reach Teddington (where the Thames channel is blocked by a dam). To protect the areas adjacent to the Thames from flooding, the banks of the lower reaches of the river and the estuary are reinforced with protective dams, and in cities — with embankments.

• Navigable almost all the way; small barges reach the town of Lechlade (311 km from the mouth). Ships with a displacement of up to 800 tons go up to London, and ocean-going vessels go up to Tilbury. On the Thames — the capital of the United Kingdom, the city of London, the cities of Oxford, Reading.

• . The Thames is connected by the old canals (the Oxford Canal, etc.) with the Bristol Bay, the Irish Sea and the industrial areas of the central part of the country. The Henley Royal Regatta is regularly held on the Thames

Thames in the work

• Jerome Klapka Jerome conveyed the calmness of the Thames in the book "Three in a Boat". It describes how three friends and their dog traveled up the river from Kingston-upon-Thames to Oxford.

• . Another well-known book, for children and adults — is the story "The Wind in the Willows". In 1908, Kenneth Graham of Pangbourne, a town on the banks of the Thames, completed his writing. This fictional story tells about the life of animals living by the Thames.

• In 2007, Peter Ackroyd's book The Thames: The Sacred River was published. The author created a biography of the river: from its source to the sea itself
