Our Story

In February 2020, Cliff Owen and his Family became the sole owners of The Thames Hotel. This was the culmination of 26 years of Cliff's Management of this historic Hotel, after he bought it with an investment partner in 1994. Since his Family gained 100% ownership, Cliff has been upgrading the fabric of the buildings, and is planning to restore many of the Hotel's original external features, in keeping with it's long, and sometimes eventful, history.

An Eventful History

The “New” Thames Hotel was built in the late 1880s by Mr H. Woodhouse, a prosperous local Boat Builder. At the time it was considered gigantic. It boasted a Telegraph Office, and enjoyed the patronage of “Peers Galore”.

An exciting history was enjoyed by the Hotel with the arrival of the motor car and the prospect of a visit to the River.

Distinguished visitors included Princess Frederica of Hanover, great-granddaughter of King George III.

The Proprietors seem to have had an equally adventurous time. It is believed that one owner lost the freehold on a single ill-fated game of cards.

Today, in keeping with the restored character of this hotel, the public areas display many photographs of local views in Victorian times,
