The Thames was a lot wider and slower flowing before embankment, it was
also a lot cleaner. So not necessarily evidence of warming.

Cleaner? Thought it was once just an open sewer. ;-)

The building of the embankment and the building of Bazalgette's sewer to
clean the Thames happened at the same time (the embankment was built to take
the sewer).
