The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England, rising at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flowing into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary. It has a special significance in flowing through London, the capital of the United Kingdom, although London only touches a short part of its course. The river is tidal in London with a rise and fall of 7 metres (23 ft) and becomes non-tidal at Teddington Lock. The catchment area covers a large part of South Eastern and Western England and the river is fed by over 20 tributaries. The river contains over 80 islands, and having both seawater and freshwater stretches supports a variety of wildlife.
The river has supported human activity from its source to its mouth for thousands of years providing habitation, water power, food and drink. It has also acted as a major highway both for international trade through the Port of London, and internally along its length and connecting to the British canal system. The river’s strategic position has seen it at the centre of many events and fashions in British history, earning it a description by John Burns as “Liquid History”. It has been a physical and political boundary over the centuries and generated a range of river crossings. In more recent time the river has become a major leisure area supporting tourism and pleasure outings as well as the sports of rowing, sailing, skiffing, kayaking, and punting. The river has had a special appeal to writers, artists, musicians and film-makers and is well represented in the arts. It is still the subject of various debates about its course, nomenclature and history.

我给你个有关泰晤士河的英文资料，你自己截吧！
Opened in 1874, Joseph Bazalgette's Thames promenade was part of an ambitious project to relieve congestion along the Strand whilst simultaneously extending the Metropolitan District Railway between South Kensington and Mansion House (now the District line Tube).
The embankment's most famous (and oldest) monument is Cleopatra's needle, an Egyptian granite obelisk that dates back to 1475 BC. With the route following the curve of the Thames passed Waterloo Bridge and up to Blackfriars, the embankment runs behind a number of historic buildings including Portcullis House, the Ministry of Defence building, Adelphi Theatre, Savoy Hotel and Somerset House.
Part of the design also included the Victoria Embankment Gardens (just off Villiers Street and reached from Embankment Tube). Interestingly, the gardens contain a water gate which, having been built in 1626, used to be located on the river's edge. However, once work on the embankment had been completed, the gate found itself stranded some 330ft from the Thames.
