We’ve brought together some of the best water-based activities along the River Thames.
Whether you’re looking to stay cool when the weather hots up or get active and have a go at water sports, the Thames has plenty on offer. Participate in one of the myriad water-based events, the regattas and festivals or just enjoy watching from the riverbank.
If you’re looking to row, punt, canoe, kayak or enjoy a more gentle cruise in a motor boat, there’s plenty of choice in our Boat Hire section.
If you are looking for a more leisurely option, you can charter a boat with a skipper or sit back and find out about the passing riverbank on one of the sightseeing Boat Trips available in London, Runnymede, Windsor, Reading, Henley and Oxford.
If it is a water-based event you are looking for, we’ve created a monthly What’s on the Water calendar to help you plan.
