The River Thames frost fairs were held on the tideway of the River Thames in London, England in some winters, starting at least as early as the late 7th century until the early 19th century. Most were held between the early 17th and early 19th centuries during the period known as the Little Ice Age, when the river froze over most frequently. During that time the British winter was more severe than it is now, and the river was wider and slower, further impeded by the 19 piers of the medieval Old London Bridge which were removed in 1831.

  • Jarmarki na zamarzniętej Tamizie, ang. River Thames frost fairs – jarmarki organizowane w Londynie na zamarzniętej Tamizie od XV do XIX w. Ostatni jarmark rozpoczął się 1 lutego 1814 i trwał 4 dni. Późniejsze zimy były łagodne. (pl)
  • Während der Kleinen Eiszeit, als das Klima in Großbritannien etwas kühler war als heute und die London Bridge die Fließgeschwindigkeit der Themse noch nicht erhöht hatte, fror sie im Winter manchmal zu. In London fanden dann auf dem Fluss oft Jahrmärkte statt, die sogenannten Frostjahrmärkte (engl. frost fairs). Zwischen dem frühen 15. und dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert gab es insgesamt 23 Winter, in denen die Themse in London zufror: 1408, 1435, 1506, 1514, 1537, 1565, 1595, 1608, 1621, 1635, 1649, 1655, 1663, 1666, 1677, 1684, 1695, 1709, 1716, 1740, 1776, 1795 und 1814.

  • Frostmarknader på Themsen var vanliga vid Themsen i London mellan 1400-talet och början av 1800-talet, under den så kallade Lilla istiden, då floden ofta frös. Vid denna tid upplevde Storbritannien flera stränga vintrar, och floden lade sig ofta. (sv)
