From its source in sleepy Gloucestershire, the Thames runs nearly 180 miles - past the spires of Oxford, Royal Windsor and eventually on to the bustle of London. Thanks to its recently renovated towpath, the Thames has become the only major British river that can be walked from its source to its estuary - the Thames Barrier. The path is one of the busiest trails in the country. The pubs (all within a few hundred yards of the river) cover a wide range from Cotswold stone country inns and thatched riverside taverns to the traditional establishments in the City and East End of London. In addition to providing a lively social history of the river and its inns, Pubs of the River Thames is a practical guide for the day-tripper and tourist alike, offering tips and details on all the pubs featured (travel, opening hours, food and beer selections and other facilities).

Great resource if you're walking the river, but the reviews are not objective

If you are walking the Thames, this book is fanatstic. Invaluable in fact. I used the book when I walked it, and it constantly whet my appetite for what lay ahead.
The reviews, however, are not objective - every single review is positive, though some of the pubs are plain awful. Also, it's worth noting that there isn't absolute consistency in the coverage. Some pubs that are close by are not included, even though they aren't all bad, and other pubs that are in the book are actually quite far away from the river.

The riverside pub is one of those characteristic British institutions. The warm weather, the river flowing by, the beer flowing freely, what more could you ask. Mark Turner has chosen some excellent examples of the River Thames Pub which allow you to savour an important part of the life on and around the river.
