Thames Then and Now in London's Historic Waterways
A long retrospective traces the Thames from Tower Hill to London Bridge, describing medieval river walls, waterborne commerce, swans and fisheries, and the river’s role as the city’s main artery. It notes fishing ordinances, ferry services, and the evolution of bridges and docks, with reflections on past floods, fires, and the river’s decline as a primary transport route today.
