The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for Richmond today (26 January).

The warning is in place from Putney Bridge to Teddington Weir.

The forecast high tide at Richmond is 4.60mAOD at 3:45pm.

The environment agency said: "Flooding of low-lying roads and footpaths is expected, which may exist for one to two hours either side of high tide.

"Flooding of properties is not expected.

"We believe there is a possibility of flooding for Putney Embankment (SW15), Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green (W4), Thames Bank at Mortlake (SW14), Ranelagh Drive (TW1), Friars Lane and Water Lane (TW9), Riverside and The Embankment at Twickenham, and the Towpath below Teddington Lock."

They added: "Astronomical tide levels are rising. The river flow at Teddington Weir is normal for this time of year at 158 cubic metres per second and is falling. We anticipate the flows to remain normal for the next five days."
