Rivers in the United Kingdom

See Rivers of the United Kingdom for a list of the rivers of the United Kingdom, organised geographically.

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.
