Henley -on Thames
Henley is inextricably linked with the river. It is a favorite location for site-seeing and holidays. Well located for the busier attractions of London, Oxford and Windsor. Henley has over the years attracted a great many visitors to this charming Oxfordshire town.
Currently Henley is probably most famous for its international rowing regatta, held every year in early July. This regatta sees the top international crews, from around the globe, visit and compete, making the "Henley Regatta" one of the top annual events.
Henley is pretty much the capital of South Oxfordshire, and its proximity to London as well as setting has made it highly desirable with commuters. Property is consequently expensive and the whole town has a very well to do feel.
The Bridge over the river was built in 1786 and is a popular landmark, this area of the town has popular pubs, restaurants and hotels, as well as being a great viewing point during the regatta.
