| | Rivers of Life: River Thames Guests |
| | The Thames was so important to our economy that there have been laws governing its use since 1065 and the first appointed body to oversee it was created in 1620. | | | I have always been fascinated by the fact that in some ways people from the past thought and felt just like us and in other ways they were totally different. | | | I have also discovered that almost all the water that we use in the Thames catchment (supplied to about 14 million people) comes from this one river. |

| | A Conservative government initiative in the 1980s to regenerate the area led to some business relocation at sites such as Canary Wharf, the construction of Britain's thames property tallest building, Canada Tower (also known as Canary Wharf Tower), and the redevelopment of riverside warehouses as luxury apartments. | | | The London Docklands, in the capital's East End, have especially declined greatly since the mid-1960s, and the areas closest to the city have been rezoned for housing and commercial development. | | | The Thames thereafter follows a generally eastern course through London, and a few kilometres below Gravesend it expands into a wide estuary and enters the North Sea. |
