Why do you need the river thames?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Like most major rivers in the world, the Thames has been a highway for commerce and transportation . It was for centuries also an open sewer.

England is an island so the English had to learn to use the surrounding seas. But London was already well established as the capitol before sea power became important. And London is linked to the sea by the Thames.

it depends on the species of animal that lives in that den. if the den collapses then you need to call animal control or need to uncover the animal,if there is an animal inside who is trapped. if you dont try to save it then you can feel the guilt of it cause it would be your fault that the poor, unsuspecting animal suffocated and died.

What did the River Thames provide to the people of London?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The River Thames flows through Central London but isn't of any real importance now. In the past it was used as a means of getting about because of the poor state of the roads. The London Docks were situated on the river and there was an enormous amount of shipping and warehousing along both banks of the river when London was a major port and Britain had its Empire. With the advent of containerisation and much larger ships, the River Thames was no longer wide enough or deep enough to facilitate large vessels.

Who was the first person to swim in the river thames?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On the 5th September 2011 the comedian, David Walliams (Little Britain), began his swim for the charity Sport Relief.

He stepped into the Thames at Lechlade and swam a determined length each day. He was taken ill shortly after beginning his swim through contact and digestion of dirty river water. This caused a slight delay to the schedule, but he bravely got back in wearing a wetsuit and continued swimming the 140 miles planned of the 215 mile river until he reached Westminster Bridge in central London on the 12th September 2011. It was estimated at this point that his swim earned the charity well over 1 million pounds in donations.

David even managed to save a dog along the way !

This is not David's first swim for the charity. He has already swam the English Channel in 2006 and the Straight-of-Gibraltar in 2008.
