The Draw Off walk coincides with the annual Draw Off in November. Each year the Port of London Authority carries out essential inspections and work which means taking the gates out of action temporarily. This is called the ‘draw-off’.

The result is that water levels are low enough to expose the river bed between Richmond and Teddington at low tides.

The walk starts at 1.30pm from the Half Lock with the Lockkeeper explaining the workings of the lock and why the river is low, followed by Joe Pecorelli (of the Zoological Society of London) talking about the ecology of the river as you walk towards Richmond Bridge where the walk ends. Please wear warm, waterproof clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wellies will be necessary for walking on the riverbed.
