River Thames now on Google Street View
The UK’s Port of London Authority (PLA) teamed up with Google to capture images of the Thames which will be the first river in Europe to appear on Google Street View.
PLA worked with Google UK to chart the river using Google’s ‘Trekker’ camera onboard its hydrographic survey vessel, Yantlet. The vessel travelled almost 30 miles up and down England’s longest river from Woolwich to Richmond to complete the survey.
John Pinder, the PLA’s hydrographer said: “It’s great that people across the world will now be able to take a virtual journey down the Thames. The River Thames now has a place alongside some of the World’s most famous locations on Street View.”
