Latest update on Richmond to Kew towpath

4 August 2025

The Thames Towpath from Richmond Lock to Kew Gardens remains closed for essential repair works following the collapse of a section last year.

Due to challenging access and ground conditions impacting the installation of sheet piling equipment, crucial to reinforcing the riverbank, the reopening of the towpath has unfortunately been delayed.

Works are now set for completion in October 2025.
