London, famous for its cloud covered skies and rain, is actually home to many outdoor activities. Contrary to popular belief sometimes there is sun over the city of London. Many of these activities take place on the water within and surrounding the city.
Take a break from tourist activities and try a favorite sport of Londoners, rowing. Join a club and practice on the Thames just like a professional.
Not interested in joining a club? Take a guided kayaking tour along the river to make use of those rowing skills.
Along the Thames there are sailing and canoeing lessons provided for anyone interested.
Wanting a day on the water but not the workout? Spend your day fishing along the river. The only requirement is a fishing license from the Environment Agency. So set up a line sit back and relax.
Finally, there are several restaurants located in boats along the Thames - whether you want to stay at the dock or dine while on a river excursion.
