Amid peaceful countryside, past historic towns and through the
heart of London, the River Thames flows in an easterly direction
for some 346 kilometres from its source in Gloucestershire until
entering the North Sea. Over many centuries civilisations have
traversed the ancient river by way of fords and early ferries,
stone-built bridges, by locks, tunnels and railway lines and, most
recently, by motorway crossings. Building methods and designs have
changed dramatically over time yet, even now, bridges dating from
medieval times still span the river, virtually unaltered since when
they were built. Within London, bridges and tunnels, old and new,
convey the capital's rail systems, road traffic and pedestrians
across the Thames. The Thames and its crossings are ever changing
and Geoff Lunn, as he travels downriver from source to sea,
navigates the reader through their history and right up to the
present day.
