Game 97

The river through the capital

Along the embankment

The game's question

Read one clue at a time, as if strolling along the embankment.

A calm river runs through the capital, at the foot of its great buildings. You walk along its banks, you pass under its bridges and on summer evenings the pleasure boats glide by. Many know its name without ever having been there. Which river is it?

  • The Severn
  • The Thames
  • The Trent
Need a hint?

Short name, silent ‘h’. Did your mum or dad ever take a boat trip on it, or walk across one of its bridges?

See the answer

Answer: The Thames – its banks, its bridges and its boats.

Why this game : Saying the name of a river everyone has seen in pictures feels good, and it starts talk of outings and boat trips.
