Westminster bridge, just in front of the Houses of Parliament, is 826.8 ft (252m) wide, which is a fairly good indication of the width of the river at the point most visitors would see it. A few miles upstream, at Hammersmith, the bridge is only 700 ft (210m), whilst at Dartford, the last bridge on the Thames before the open sea, the bridge is 2,664 ft (812m) long.

This question is the same as - how long is a piece of string. Given the Thames is 215 miles long there would be thousands of different widths.
There are many parts of the River Thames:

The width of the River Thames also increases the further downstream you go.

Lechlade 18 metres wide

Oxford 76 metres wide

Teddington 100 metres wide

London Bridge 265 metres wide

Woolwich 448 metres wide

Gravesend 732 metres wide

Nore Light, 10 km wide

Estuary (between Shoeburyness and Sheerness) 8 km wide

Whitstable and Foulness Point, the estuary is 29 km across.

Hope my answer was some help!! :)
