The Thames holds a central place in British history, earning the poetic moniker “liquid history” by John Burns. It has hosted major annual events like the Henley Royal Regatta and the Boat Race and served as a venue for two Summer Olympic Games. Rob Smith will virtually lead us as we explore London’s iconic Thames Clipper River buses for an unforgettable journey along England’s longest river entirely within its borders. Whether you are a visitor or a local, cruising the Thames offers a unique perspective on the city’s history and landmarks. This virtual tour not only showcases the scenic routes but also unveils significant events and cultural highlights along its storied banks. Starting from Deptford, admire the historic Royal Navy buildings, a reminder of London’s maritime legacy. Glide past Greenwich, home to the elegant Queens House and rich naval history, before reaching the Royal Woolwich Arsenal, symbolizing Britain’s industrial past and military strength. “Sail” this iconic waterway, offering a glimpse into London’s past and present
