Around Ham
Sightseeing
Heading north along the riverside path is a charming country-esque walk past Teddington lock, through Ham Nature Reserve, past Ham House and Petersham Meadows to Richmond (20-35 minutes). great riverside cafes and restaurants along the way at Teddington Lock, Twickenham and Richmond (see below).
Going south the riverside path is equally interesting as you pass the YMCA towards Kingston, through Canbury park home of Kingston Rowing Club and the Boaters Arms pub, past John Lewis and into Kingston town center where there are many riverside pubs and restaurants. Cross the bridge at Kingston and continue along on the other side to reach Hampton Court Palace (15 minutes to Kingston, 40 minutes to HCP). Here at the palace you can walk in some of the gardens for free and eat at the Tiltyard café or purchase a ticket and explore the house, main gardens and maze (see website for details).

This is a significant lock on the Thames where the river stops being tidal. There are 4 locks for different sized boats and a ramp for kayaks and paddleboards. The lock is manned 24/7 365 days a year by staff and volunteers. An RNLI station is also here. It’s a pleasant walk across the bridges to the Teddington side where the Anglers Pub has a great riverside garden, The Wharf restaurant and the Flying Cloud café (open during warmer months). Teddington High street is a further 5 minutes walk and has restaurants and independent shops.
The main lock island has been closed during covid times but the lock is still a fun place to watch boats. The island between the 2 bridges can be accessed by a small path on the right after the first bridge.
