The riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green consists of a footpath running along the bank of the River Thames. It is overlooked by fine 18th-century houses and a collection of riverside pubs, and as it is on the tideway is regularly flooded by the river, especially when high tide combines with heavy flow from upriver as here in November 2012. The entrance of all the properties is raised above the path so that the view of the river is not spoiled. In some cases, however, this has left rather strange effects such as here where the front door is only four feet high. It was clearly originally about six and a half feet high but when the steps were added to protect the property from flooding, the door frame was left as it was.
