Welcome to ThamesLife

Family matters: John Day with his sons and co-founders, Russell and Nigel

Living by the river offers some of the most scenic and iconic views of London, in addition to the well-being of living next to London’s largest open space.

Recently Price Waterhouse Cooper’s index ranked London as the best city in the world. Combine this with new research which has found that ‘blue space’ including sea, rivers, lakes and even urban water features can have a positive impact on wellbeing, and you can see why we have had such a fantastic year – it feels as if everyone wants to live next to the River Thames!

A home by the river is also an investment, the key to a lifestyle found nowhere else, the gateway to many of London’s intellectual and cultural facilities and a great, fun, invigorating place to live.

us how best to sell and let riverside properties. We appreciate what waterfront buyers and tenants are looking for and we look to sell not just a property but a lifestyle. We can generate the maximum interest in your waterside property or find you the perfect riverside home.
