Companies in London looking for the perfect venue for their corporate hospitality event consistently seem to overlook the one genuine asset the city has – the River Thames. The River Thames has something for everyone. If you enjoy peace and natural beauty, then the gentle and remote stretches of the Upper Thames from its source through Lechlade to Eynsford will delight with tranquillity and natural beauty before it flows into Oxford. From Oxford downstream the Thames meanders past great castles and royal palaces at Windsor and Hampton Court. Downstream of Teddington (which literally means Tide-end-town) the River Thames changes its nature and although still 60 miles from Southend and the North Sea, the Thames becomes tidal. In Central London every stretch of the river has a tale to tell with iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge. Past the Tower of London and Tower Bridge the river widens as it sweeps down to Greenwich with its naval tradition and maritime history and past O2 Dome before finally reaching the Thames Barrier and the open the sea.
