The Thames Path National Trail  is around 180 miles from the source near Kemble in Gloucestershire to the mouth. This "mouth" was originally defined as the Thames Barrier but this has now been extended.

Living, as we do, in south west London, the lower reaches of the river were easy to get to for a single day of walking. As we progressed further from the river's mouth (perversely, we were walking in the opposite direction to the river's flow), we took long weekends to complete three or four stages in one go. We stayed at some nice (and not so nice) pubs and hotels.
