Thames Bank is on the banks of the River Thames and like the poet of Punch in 1904 .....'Neath the star-jewelled hill-top at Goring-and- Streatley, How dear's the down platform at Goring and Streatley, Would one ever go further than Goring or Streatley'..... people throughout history have been charmed by this riverain pocket of England at its best.
All the apartments have spectacular views over the river, water meadows and Streatley Hill beyond. The cottages have been converted from the 19th-century stabling fronting Thames Road and are set around an enclosed landscaped courtyard. A hundred yards to the south is Goring Lock.

‘Messing about on the river‘ brought an array of colourful craft to this beautiful spot, and Jerome K. Jerome‘s ‘Three Men in a Boat‘ was chronicled so amusingly that it has lost nothing of its appeal over a century since its publication. Oscar Wilde commemorated his stay in 1893 by naming one of his ‘An Ideal Husband‘ characters Lady Goring.
