[edit] Rivers in the United Kingdom
See Rivers of the United Kingdom for a list of the rivers of United Kingdom organised geographically.
Major navigable rivers include the Humber, Mersey, Yorkshire Ouse, Severn, Thames, Trent and Firth of Forth. Some minor navigable rivers may be classified as canals. Others include the Warwickshire Avon, the Bristol Avon.
See also articles on the Subterranean rivers of London, and the Jubilee River, which, although man-made, was designed to look and act like a natural river rather than a canal.
