It was almost certainly appropriate for most of it's history. The de-industrialisation of the Thames basin and rising environmental awareness has resulted in a dramatic improvement in Thames water quality, with fresh-water fish returning. Air quality has also seen dramatic improvement since the widespread adoption of gas-fired heating to replace domestic coal fires, with the London smog a definite thing of the past. Although the Thames is no longer dirty, the London sky's are still mostly murky thanks to the awful weather!
Yes, there are people in England who's job it is to work on and look after the river. The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) operates on the River Thames. These are volunteers who assist in keeping the Thames safe.
The river Thames was declared biologically dead in 1957, pollution levels were extremely high. It is now one of the cleanest rivers in the world.
