It rises north-northwest of Woodstock, in the uplands between Lakes Huron and Erie, and flows southwest past the towns of Woodstock, London, and Chatham to Lake Saint Clair. The river is navigable below Chatham. Originally called the La Tranche River, it received its present name in 1792. The Battle of the Thames (1813) was fought at Moraviantown, near Chatham.
The Thames basin is the name of the area surrounding the River Thames. Any rain falling on it ends up in the Thames, which takes it to the sea. The Thames basin covers an area of approximately 12,935 square kilometres (4,994 square miles). 13 million people live in the basin, 7 million of which live in London.
