Port of London Authority Assistant Harbour Masters - Encouraging fun and safe recreational use of the tidal Thames

[Port of London Authority @LondonPortAuth]

We are currently experiencing a mechanical failure on the No 3 (Centre) arch of Richmond Lock & Weir. The weir will remain in the lowered position and closed to navigation at all times until repaired.

From Monday, the Thames will seem a very different place as the Richmond weirs are lifted for the annual draw-off, which allows the lock and sluices to be inspected and repaired https://t.co/BtOMGSS6Yd
