River Delta
The River Thames does not have a river delta! The one in the picture is simply an example of what a delta looks like. A river delta is a landform that if formed at the mouth of a river, where the river flows out in to the ocean.

Estuary
Instead of a delta the River Thames has an estuary. As it looks in the picture, a estuary is a tidal mouth of a large river were the tide meets the sea. The River Thame's estuary begins to form at Isle of Grain.
