Where is the source of the Thames?
Somewhere in the Cotswolds, I'm guessing.

Fair enough
That sounds like a damned good adventure to me.

It shall be.
Driving between Cirencester, Oxford, Goring, Henley, Reading, London and the Isle of Sheppey, taking in Whitstable and Canterbury at the end. I can't fucking wait!

You've got to try and fit Woolwich car ferry in, if it still operates.
I used to love going on that.

Edit - yes it does:-

There's a massive pink robot on the boat.

Well how else would it get from East London to Greenwich?

If it's still there I'm going.

The ferry is worth it anyway
Regardless of the presence of cross-Thames commuting robots.

Convince me.

Its free
And you get to see the river from another angle - and all the stuff around the river.

And the robot likes it.

Seriously, it's a great experience and it's worth making a bit of a diversion for, especially on a Thames themed trip.

Right you are, I'll see what the navigator says.
