One of the earliest accounts of the Thames freezing over comes from AD 250, when it was frozen solid for nine weeks. In 923 the river was open to wheeled traffic for trade and the transport of goods for thirteen weeks; in 1410, for fourteen weeks.

From 1400 into the 19th century, there were 24 winters in which the Thames was recorded to have frozen over at London; if "more or less frozen over" years (in parentheses) are included, the number is 26: 1408, 1435, 1506, 1514, 1537, 1565, 1595, 1608, 1621, 1635, 1649, 1655, 1663, 1666, 1677, 1684, 1695, 1709, 1716, 1740, (1768), 1776, (1785), 1788, 1795, and 1814.
