Sonning Lock is a lock and associated weir situated on the River Thames at the village of Sonning near Reading, Berkshire, England. The first lock was built by the Thames Navigation Commission in 1773 and it has been rebuilt three times since then.

Great cafe next to the lock house to stop and fill up on your walk.

The cafe next to the lock is no longer open. But there is a pub (the Bull) next to the church.

The Village Hamper, in Sonning Village is now open, and is fab! Tea, coffee, baguettes and excellent cakes. 🍰
