Enjoying London’s Rural Thames for free
London’s Rural Thames stretches from Hampton Court Palace – one of the great icons of Tudor England - to fashionable Chelsea Harbour. Within this span of 22.5 miles the river rolls out a dazzling string of world-famous attractions in a rural setting of vast parklands, sumptuous gardens and secluded green spaces which delights visitors and takes most Londoners by surprise.
The strand that links them all is The Thames Path National Trail, the continuous, way-marked footpath which flanks the river on either side. The river is a haven in its own special way, a welcome retreat for walking, picnicking, boating, bird watching, cycling or simply lying in the sun and watching the world drift by. See Down by the river page.
