Teddington Local Information

Teddington is located on the River Thames, and is perhaps most well known for the Teddington Lock, the longest lock on the Thames, which marks the highest point the tides reach on the Thames. Take a drive in your car rental and visit the lock, also known as Teddington Lock Complex, due to the presence of a weir and footbridge as has been three locks over the years. Construction of the first lock began in 1810 and it was completed with the weir in 1812. This was a timber lock and was repaired in 1825.

In 1856 the lock was rebuilt with stone and the skiff lock was added at this time. 1869 saw the addition of a boat slide and eventually the barge lock (which is also the largest lock on the river) was added in 1905-1905. The iron girder footbridge (linking the town of Ham on the Surrey side of the riverbank to the lock island) and the suspension bridge (linking the lock island the Teddington) were added in 1887 and 1889 respectively. Park your car rental and walk the footbridges admiring the scenery of the Thames from Teddington Lock.

Teddington is found in the London borough of Richmond on Thames and stretches from the banks as far in as Bushy Park. The only volunteer lifeboat station on the river was opened in 2001 (operational in 2002) and is situated at Teddington. The Teddington Lifeboat Station is only one of four on the Thames so park your car rental and discover it today!

Popular belief holds that the name Teddington is derived from ‘tide’s end town’, but others believe that it stems from Saxon and Norman times named for an Old English tribal leader – the town being Todyngton or Tutington. There is some evidence to suggest that the town was inhabited as long ago as Roman times, but the first known settlement was in the Saxon era. In the 1300s the land was owned by the Abbot of Westminster.
