Yep. Reading. The Thames is a 10 minute ride from my house. I’ve actually found later in the day on the river not so bad. The powered boats are much easier to see and before midday have seemingly sober crews. The rowers don’t go out so much when it’s busy. Swimming is a bit nicer then. I must make an effort to ride somewhere further afield one day. Perhaps a forum swim in the Jubilee river before the summer’s over?

where are you based? - assume reading way?
if you can make it to the jubilee river that's completely boat free
there are stretches of the Thames towards Henley/maidenhead/Cookham that are too far from rowing clubs to be bothered and obviously free.

i suspect around sonning to shiplake is ok but have no experience myself..
