The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for the river thames from Putney Bridge to Teddington Weir.

River levels are expected to be high as a result of spring tides and high river flows.

They said: "The forecast high tide at Richmond is 4.72mAOD at 13:30 on 22/02/2024 and 4.96mAOD at 01:45 on 23/02/2024.

"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."

They added: "The river flow at Teddington Weir is high for this time of year at 270 cubic metres per second and is rising. We anticipate the flows to remain high for the next 5 days."

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.

This message will be updated by 09:00 on 23/02/2024, or as the situation changes.
