The Thames - pronounced 'tems' - is the river that winds its way through the heart of London, dividing it into [[north London|North London]] and [[south London|South London]]. The city was created some two thousand years ago as a port; this original location remains the city's core, and is known still as the [[City Of London|City of London]]. The eastern end of the section of the river that passes through London is the [[Docklands]], which were, from the 17th to mid-20th centuries, the busiest part of the city, playing home to a huge trade of seaborne shipping. Note - it's always described, archaically, as 'the River Thames', or just 'the Thames' - never 'the Thames River'.

There are [[River Buses|river buses]] that can take you up and down the river, as well as numerous [[river cruises|River Cruises]] and also [[floating restaurants|Floating Restaurants]]. There are of course also numerous [[Category Bridges|bridges]] passing over it and [[tunnels|River Tunnels]] passing under it. <br>
