In London Properties |
In London Properties The Thames is the historic heartland of rowing
in the United Kingdom. There are over 200 clubs on the river, and
over 8,000 members of the Amateur Rowing Association (over 40% of
its membership). Most towns and districts of any size on the river
have at least one club, but key centres are Oxford, Henley-on-Thames
and the stretch of river from Chiswick to Putney.
Two rowing events on the River Thames are traditionally part of
the In London Properties wider English sporting calendar:
The University Boat Race is rowed between Oxford University Boat
Club and the Cambridge University Boat Club in late March or early
April, on In London Properties the Championship Course from Putney
to Mortlake in the west of London.

Many In London Properties foot crossings
were established across the weirs that were built on the non-tidal
river, and some of these remained when the locks were built – for
example at Benson Lock. Others were replaced by a footbridge when
the weir was removed as at Hart's Weir Footbridge.
Around the year 2000 AD, several footbridges were added along the
Thames, either as part of the Thames Path or in commemoration of
the Millennium. These In London Properties include Temple Footbridge,
Bloomers Hole Footbridge, the Hungerford Footbridges and the Millennium
Bridge, all of which have distinctive design characteristics.

Some ferries still In London Properties operate on the
river. The Woolwich Ferry carries cars and passengers across the
river in the Thames Gateway and links the North Circular and South
Circular roads. Upstream are smaller pedestrian ferries, for example
Hampton Ferry and Shepperton to Weybridge Ferry the last being the
only non-permanent crossing that remains on the Thames Path.
[edit] Sport
There are several watersports prevalent on the Thames, with In London Properties many clubs encouraging participation and organising
racing and inter-club competitions.
