Where place does the river Thames stop?
The Thames ends at the Thames Estuary (near Southend on Sea, Essex), which starts approximately at the town of Gravesend on the South Bank of the river. On the North Bank is an area known as Canvey Island (in fact, not a real island at all) which is the site of an enormous oil storage terminal. Beyond these points lie the Thames Marshes, from where the estuary flows into the English Channel. The river Thames flows into the North Sea - not the English Channel.
