The Thames Britain's Great River With Tony Robinson

Tony Robinson explores the history, influence and population of the world-famous Thames. It runs right through London - the place where he was born and where his family have lived for 300 years.

Part 3

Reaching central London, the actor and presenter boards an industrial working ship on the Thames, learning it is a route not without risks as ships must squeeze under bridges at high tide and avoid running aground at low tide. At the Chelsea embankment, Tony explores the Physic Gardens where early botanical remedies were created from exotic plants brought in by river from all over the world. On the south bank, he goes mudlarking, scouring the shore at low tide for objects discarded by revellers past, before getting a bird's-eye-view of the river from the Shard. Tony's final stop is Tower Bridge.
