River Thames

The River Thames (Latin: TamesisAssassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse – Chapter 10) is a river that flows through southern England.
As the primary waterway at the heart of London, it possessed great economic importance in the 19th century. However, the increasing industrialization led to the Thames' pollution.Jeuxvideo: Assassin's Creed: Syndicate - The Reconstruction of London As such, riverboats were in many ways preferable to swimming if one wished to get across.

===Viking Age===
Geirmund Hel-hide arrived near the river en-route to Readingum in 871 with jarl Sidroc the Elder, and discovered a battle between the Danes and Saxons. During the battle, Geirmund attempted to retreat alongside the Danes, but was bludgeoned and knocked into the river. Geirmund washed up some time and was found by Guthrum in Readingum.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga – Chapter 11
