Then think further back, they grew grapes in the SE and it was pretty much as Southern France is now.
I think the Thames would freeze if it was purer water. Now it is too polluted to freeze over. That is probably a factor to think about.
The Grapes thing, we still grow grapes over here in the SW. You can't in the SE because it is WAY too expensive to buy land out there. Especially enough to plant a vineyard.
