Leisure Users

The Thames Tideway is not only one of Britain’s top three commercial ports, it is also used by thousands of people living in London and the surrounding area. Some of the more popular leisure pursuits are rowing (both traditional and modern), motor cruising, sailing and canoeing.

The large amount of traffic on the river means that it is very important that all leisure users are aware of how to safely navigate the tidal Thames. This section of the website provides information essential for anyone planning to navigate on the tidal River Thames - whether cruising in a motor boat or rowing in a racing eight. Visitors to the Thames who do not intend to use a private leisure craft will find useful infomation in the “Tourism” section of this website.
