Don't risk it. Don't jump into the Thames at Teddington Lock

As great as it can be for cooling off, it is important to remember that the Thames is a dangerous river - cold water shock, shallow water and debris can all cause serious risk to life.

Thank you to our partners RNLI Teddington Lifeboat Station, London Fire Brigade, Met Police and Environment Agency for working with us to raise awareness and keep our communities safe.
