The River Thames rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire on the slopes of the Cotswolds and flows generally eastward to its mouth near Southend in Essex. At 215 miles long it is one of the longest rivers in Britain, and the longest entirely within England. It is one of the most important rivers in Britain. LinkExternal link

Vauxhall Bridge

The present bridge opened in 1906 and is a grade II* listed structure. It replaced an earlier bridge opened in 1816 called the Regent Bridge (later renamed Vauxhall bridge). It is made from steel and granite and is 809 ft long.
