Welcome to Henley-on-Thames
A town and civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire.


Henley-on-Thames is arguably one of the most beautiful towns in England. We were
recently voted by The Times as one of the best places to live in the English
countryside. Henley’s riverside location, surrounded by a Chiltern landscape of
wooded hills and green fields, lends itself to relaxation, long lunches and
great shopping. There’s a pub where Charles I drank, a Chantry house, a butcher
that smokes his own meat and independent shops still offering the personal
touch. Henley is a regular winner of RHS Britain in Bloom medals and the home of
a well-known TV detective! We are home to the Henley Royal Regatta, arguably the
best-known regatta in the world. It is one of the jewels in Henley’s crown. The
historic decision to establish the regatta was made in our very own Town Hall.

Henley-on-Thames is twinned with the Falaise, Leichlingen and Bled.  We also
have a friendship link with Boroma in Somalia.

This website is managed by Henley-on-Thames Town Council. The Town Council is
the most local tier of local government and works in partnership with South
Oxfordshire District Council and Oxfordshire County Council. These three local
government bodies look after different aspects of the town and community
infrastructure. If you wish to find out more about who looks after what, then
please have a look at our How we work page.  
If it is a Town Council responsibility, please get in touch by clicking here.

HER MAJESTY, QUEEN ELIZABETH IL

1926 - 2022

It is with immense sadness that we have learned of the death of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II.

Her reign has demonstrated an impeccable example of a constitutional monarchy,
and her service to her nation and to us, her subjects, has been unrivalled.

As we enter a period of mourning, we will reflect upon her extraordinary life
and the impact her service has had on us all.

Our prayers are with the whole family, and especially with our new King. God
save the King.

Henley-on-Thames Town Council
