Saint Helen's Wharf is a noted beauty spot on the River Thames, just upstream of the medieval bridge at Abingdon-on-Thames. The wharf was for centuries an important transport and shipping link up the Thames and between canals from Oxford and the Midlands. Usually, on a fine summer morning like this, it would be crowded; but today all you've got is empty benches looking out on a beautiful river scene.
