Depends on whether you are on the tidal portion of the river or not.
On the tidal portion, first it is a bit of a pain because there are no proper docks, you have to wade in - be sure to wear your wellies, because the river is full of poo, and try not to get any rocks in the boat (esp the tracks). Once under way, make sure you have an experienced coxswain or bowman as navagating the river can be tricky, which side you should be traveling on changes depending on whether the tide is waxing or waning and where on the river you are such as inside of curve or outside. Also, there can be a lot of other rowing traffic on the river as there are a huge number of rowing clubs there. If you are an American, be mindful that the terminology is somewhat different: (port and starboard) become (strokeside and bowside), 'eaaasy-all' is typically used more than 'way enough' or 'let it run'. Also, British crews are very adamant about having a very finesse stroke, and detest backsplash (probably because of the 'poo' thing) In spite of all this, however, the scenery can be splended, the number and history of the rowing clubs is remarkable, and the magnificence of some of the great rooms in the rowing clubs spectacular. Your technique will improve, you will be a better rower, and richer for the experience.
