Flooding possible. Be prepared.
River levels are expected to be high as a result of spring tides and a closure of the Thames Barrier.
Water will be maintained within the downstream network of flood defences, which include river walls, embankments and flood gates, however flooding of low lying footpaths and open spaces is possible for 1-2 hours around high tide.
The forecast high tide at the Thames Barrier is at 14:00 on Monday 8th April 2024.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are out on the ground ensuring all flood gates are closed.
Members of the public are advised to avoid floodwater and also to keep abreast of updates to the forecast as further Thames Barrier closures are possible.
This message will be updated by 19:00 on Monday 8th April 2024, or as the situation changes.
