That,ll be Allington then

Thames only - pity...
Steve won it last year - so time for someone else.
Hambledon?
Marsh?
Bacon butties not - at Temple
Iffley coming back from a bit of neglect and it's bee thoughtfully replanted with a mix of "nice things" - lavender that brushes against you as you walk along the lockside and gives off a nice smell.

Come along folks, post some suggestions here.

I've only been through two this year so can't really judge

So I did a tactical vote for Hambledon.

Simon at Hambleden lock gets my vote.

 

[OceanBlue]

If Richmond counted - that would be my vote, always very helpful when there's low water or for lock/weir advice

Or Molesey, Steve's very helpful too

 

[dash300]

Gone for my local lock; Shepperton, probably the busiest and certainly the one with the most spectators. Just waiting for the discount voucher

 

[teddington_lock]

Teddington is the lock to vote for.

A beautiful site and friendly lock staff .

It's for Elfin Safety reasons (Lord, preserve us).
That's why many of the gardens have disappeared over the years. A great shame as it added to the "colour" of the River; mark you, the yellow and black lines and boxes have brought some colour back.......
