Is the River Thames Salty?

Yes and no. The River Thames is tidal between Teddington (near Richmond) and its mouth in the North Sea, meaning that it rises and falls with the tides. This makes the Thames a bit salty in this area. However, the salinity increases gradually as you move towards the sea, meaning that even at Battersea, the water can still be regarded as 'fresh water' and not salty.
