What the print holds
The Thames Path on paper
The Thames Path prints as one continuous meander, and the pleasure of it is watching the river change while the line stays faithful. It begins as a path beside something barely wide enough to call a stream, works through the Cotswold water park and the lock-and-weir country of Oxfordshire, and by Reading is following a river that carries traffic.
The middle is the most beautiful section on paper. Between Oxford and Henley the Thames bends hard and often, and the line has to follow every one of them, so that stretch of the sheet is dense with curves while the ends are comparatively straight. Goring is where the river cuts through the chalk and the Ridgeway crosses it — two of these prints meet at that point, if anyone is collecting.
Then London arrives. The last fifty kilometres run through Richmond, Putney, the South Bank and Greenwich, and the river's great loops around the Isle of Dogs and the peninsula are the most recognisable shapes on the whole print.
It prints landscape, because the river runs east. It is bought by rowers, by people who walked it in sections over years, and by Londoners who like seeing the familiar bends as the end of something that started in a field.
It also makes an unusual gift, because almost everyone has a stretch of the Thames they think of as theirs, and this is the only print in the collection where the whole thing and the personal bit are the same object. The frame can be pulled to a mile of it without redrawing anything.
What to frame
Each opens the Studio already framed. Change your mind there — the path, or a day of it.
How it works
From the Studio to your wall in three steps.
Step 01
Choose your subject
Connect Strava in one tap for a race, a ride or a whole year. Or search for a place, type a postcode for your street on the old Ordnance Survey, or add a photograph — none of those needs an account.
Step 02
Choose your style
Start from a finished design and make it yours: the words, the colours, the size. Twenty-three styles for your own miles, four treatments for a place, six layouts for a photograph, and the old survey as drawn or in your colours.
Step 03
We print and frame it
Pick a frame, check out, and it is printed to order on fine-art paper, framed by hand and posted to you, tracked.

Good to know
Which bank does the path follow?
Both, in turn — it crosses at bridges wherever the right of way does. The print draws the waymarked national route rather than the alternative north-bank line through London.
Where does it actually start?
At Thames Head near Kemble, which is a field with a stone in it and is dry for much of the year. The print starts where the waymarked path starts.
Can I have just my stretch?
Yes. Open the Studio from this page and pull the frame to a reach you know — Oxford to Abingdon, or Putney to Tower Bridge.
I have not walked the whole thing. Can I still have it?
Yes. The print draws the Thames Path itself — the path as it is waymarked, end to end — with or without a walk of your own on it. People buy it before they set off as often as after.
Can it show my own walk instead?
It can show both. Connect Strava and the Studio draws your days along the path — the miles you actually covered over the line as it is mapped, with your time on feet and your climb beneath.
