Recommend Thames guide book or app for a visitor

[Plum]

I am planning on visiting the Thames in the spring of 2016 from Richmond to Oxford. I have done this before but not for 20 years! Can you please recommend an up to date guide book and/or app that will help me plan and help with where to moor and where the important services are. Thanks

The River Thames Book by Chris Cove Smith is an excellent guide.

Many thanks. As that book was published over 3 years ago is there an online guide that may give more up to date info on places to stop/moor for short term/overnight?

Not a lot has changed in those three years!!!

Try the app from Val Wyatt marine - I forget the name, but Google will know

I think the map I have on my boat is at least 20years old, all the moorings are in the same place.
The bit you do need to know is where all the best pubs are, they have definitely changed

I received a free booklet from the Environment Agency : called "Cruising guide to The River Thames and Connecting Waterways". An excellent publication which I recommend. Request a free copy by email to:- environmentagency@prolog.co.uk
