Henley-on-Thames is a historic market town and civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, 9 miles northeast of Reading, 7 miles west of Maidenhead and 23 miles southeast of Oxford. One of Henley on Thames boundaries has the tripoint of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
Henley Bridge is a five arched bridge across the river built in 1786. It is a Grade I listed building. During 2011 the bridge underwent a £200,000 repair programme after being hit by the boat Crazy Love in August 2010. About a mile upstream of the bridge is Marsh Lock. Chantry House is the second Grade I listed building in the town. It is unusual in having more storeys on one side than on the other.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is nearby, and has a 16th-century tower. The Old Bell is a pub in the centre of Henley. The building has been dated from 1325: the oldest-dated building in the town of Henley on Thames. To celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 60 oak trees were planted in the shape of a Victoria Cross near Fair Mile.
Henley on Thames railway station is on the Henley Branch Line from Twyford. There are direct trains into London Paddington during peak hours. At other times one must change trains at Twyford. There are express mainline rail services from Reading (6 miles or 10 km away) to Paddington.
Henley is a world-renowned centre for rowing. Each summer the Henley Royal Regatta is held on Henley Reach, a naturally straight stretch of the river just north of the town. It was extended artificially. The event became Royal in 1851, when Prince Albert became patron of the regatta. Other regattas and rowing races are held on the same reach, including Henley Women's Regatta, the Henley Boat Races for women's and lightweight teams between Oxford and Cambridge University, Henley Town and Visitors Regatta, Henley Veteran Regatta, Upper Thames Small Boats Head, Henley Fours and Eights Head, and Henley Sculls.

Adjacent to the River Thames, Henley is overlooked by a beautiful Chiltern landscape of wooded hills and green fields.
The town was first described in the 12th century and is until today considered as one of the most beautiful English market towns with many interesting historical buildings. Its historic St Mary’s Church, the Town Hall, the market square, many local shops, plus its own theatre/cinema, mean Henley is a delightful place for mooching about.
The stretch of river between the regatta finish and Henley Bridge is the location for the annual Henley Festival of Music and Arts. Now a popular hospitality venue, it attracts some of the world’s top entertainers to perform on a floating stage in front of a dinner-jacketed audience; as well as holding exhibitions of art and sculpture.

Henley-on-Thames Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Oxfordshire, and around 35 miles west of central London, is the town of Henley-on-Thames, sometimes referred to as, simply, Henley.
Geographically Henley is situated at the southern fringe of the Chiltern Hills and directly adjacent to the River Thames as its name suggests. 'Henley' reflects its geography as it derives from Old English 'hēah', meaning high place and 'lēah', meaning forest or clearing.
Henley-on-Thames is known to have been an established settlement from as early as 1179, as records state that King Henry II had bought land for the making of buildings here. The first reference to a church here dates from 1204, while the first reference to a bridge dates from 1234.
Historical industries in Henley included agriculture, wool, glass, brewing and coaching inns. In 1688 William of Orange rested in the town on his march from Brixham in Devon to London. This took place during the Glorious Revolution in which James II was deposed from the throne with very little bloodshed. Thus the Dutch prince, William of Orange, became King William III and joint monarch with his wife Mary II.
In 1786 Henley Bridge was built. Featured at the start of the walk, this 5-arch stone bridge replaced an earlier wooden crossing. The River Thames at this area effectively marks the boundary between the counties of Oxfordshire and Berkshire. A short walk downstream from here, the Thames becomes the dividing line between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire (although only up to a point due to county boundary changes in 1974).
In 1829 Henley-on-Thames became the host of what was effectively the inaugural Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge - England's oldest and most prestigious universities. Oxford won this race easily, and their winning boat can still be seen in the River & Rowing Museum in Henley. The next race wasn't until 1836, and in this instance was held in London - from Westminster to Putney. It would eventually become an annual event from 1856, by which time a course in west London between Putney and Mortlake had become the established location.
As a result of the bustle created in Henley from the 1829 boat race, it was decided that there was much potential to draw in visitors by holding their own rowing event. And so, in 1839, the inaugural Henley Regatta was held. This was a one-day event, but proved so successful that they expanded it to two days for the following year. In 1851, following a visit from Prince Albert, it was renamed Henley Royal Regatta - a name it has maintained ever since. It continued to expand into what is now a six-day annual summer event.
In 1857 the railway arrived in Henley-on-Thames. To this day it is the northern terminus of the Henley Branch Line, which connects to the Great Western Main Line via Twyford at the southern terminus. Travel to or from London typically takes between 50 and 70 minutes, factoring in the change at Twyford.
In additional to the first ever Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race and the annual Royal Regatta, Henley-on-Thames has hosted two Olympic Rowing Regattas: London 1908 and London 1948. In 2012 it was passed over for Dorney Lake near Windsor.
Famous people from Henley-on-Thames include actor David Tomlinson, TV historian Adam Hart-Davis and actress Leslie Ash.
