Christian & Claire Green proudly run Thames Travel which has been a
family business in the heart of East Twickenham since Christian’s parents,
John & Constance, established the agency in the early 80’s.

Having seen lots of exciting changes in the industry, Thames Travel now
boasts a team of travel directors who are highly experienced and well-
travelled and prides itself on offering exceptional personal service when
helping you to plan a special family holiday, a weekend away or a once in a

We have spent years building relationships with key travel partners,
allowing us to share our knowledge and advice on some of the best hotels,
resorts and destinations around the world. Many of the holidays we offer,
we have personally experienced allowing us to confidently recommend
them.

The team travels regularly; Christian and Claire recently took their children
on an amazing adventure to Costa Rica, Nick enjoyed cruising onboard the
brand-new Explorer ship through the Caribbean and Cheryl explored some
of the hidden corners of Mallorca on a recent family holiday.
