Why does the river thames have locks?
The locks on the River Thames are used to manage water levels, control the flow of water, and assist boats navigating along the river. They allow boats to move between different sections of the river that have different water levels, preventing flooding in some areas and ensuring a consistent depth for navigation.
How many meters deep is the river THAMES?
As it flows through central London the Thames is surprisingly shallow. Underneath Westminster bridge the depth is usually no greater than 6 feet i.e. about the depth of a tall person. However the river does rise considerably with the Spring tides, so its depth varies. Obviously the Thames estuary is far deeper, I think the maximum depth being around 30 feet. I wouldn't recommend trying to find out yourself unless you have scuba diving equipment and are a trained drift diver LOL Kate
