[jules' pics] The Thames Valley

Londinium has, to me, always seemed alien to the rest of the UK, but the Thames Valley has become another country too. It is so polished that it seems more like a theme park than a real place.

For those who don't know their UK geography, the Thames is the big river that runs right through Londinium. Thus, anywhere along its banks are the most sought after places to live, as you can easily commute in to the city.

Like any part of the country there is good and bad but the Thames valley has some stunning scenery and great places to visit. for more information Thames Valley Guide (www.thamesvalleyguide.co.uk)has some great recommendations and listings of current events in the area
