I was reading this article about someone jumping in to the Thames to try and save a person who fell off London Bridge https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/25/father-hails-hero-son-believed-to-have-died-trying-to-save-woman-from-thames
obviously a tragedy but I was wondering if the Thames is especially dangerous? I can't find much online about how fast it flows or anything.
I've taken an inadvertent dip in the Thames twice, both times around Chiswick Bridge. It was deeply unpleasant and quite dicey, and I suspect it would be worse in Central London.
Those concrete shoes aren't so comfortable eh
