Located between Teddington and Richmond, Richmond Lock and Weir is an impressive series of three huge vertical sluice gates suspended from an attractive, multi-arched footbridge. Its purpose is to ensure a navigable depth of water downstream of Richmond at low tide. For around two hours either side of high tide, the sluice gates are raised to compensate for the lower water level downstream, allowing the Thames to be navigable for twenty-four hours a day by all but the largest boats all the way to Teddington Lock. Richmond Lock and Weir was officially opened by the Duke and Duchess of York in 1894.
