Yes it is, London without the Thames would not be quite so interesting. Just as any city situated on a river, before the days of air transport, ocean going freighters were the only way to move goods abroad or to another part of the country. Huge numbers of people were employed to receive and dispatch cargo of all types.
The arrival of air transport, trains and containers means that fewer people need to work on the docks, and they are now being taken over by over-expensive apartment blocks along the river, which gives a new industry growing up, such as river buses to take these new riverside dwellers on their daily commute.

It's a conceit used by certain literary types. Old Father Thames rolls to the mighty sea. Some historical items are also, from time to time, discovered on the river bed.
