Teddington Lock House on the RIver Thames
January 11th 2009 00:26
The River Thames is tidal through the part of London most tourists are familiar with, all the way up to Teddington, which is to the west. As Jim Linwood, who provided this picture, explains, the lockhouse is part of a lock and weir complex.
A day trip to see the Teddington locks is a good excuse for a picnic and a stroll in the area between Richmond-upon-Thames and Teddington. The hamlet of Ham (well, village), not to be confused with East Ham and West Ham, features a National Trust property, Ham House.
This part of London is well away from the madding crowd. It's a leafy, green change from the busy West End.
