The Boundary Stone
Image: © David Purchase Taken: 26 Apr 2013
This stone was erected in 1909 to mark the division of authority between the Port of London Authority (downstream) and the Thames Conservancy (now the Environment Agency) upstream. It is about 250 metres downstream of Teddington Lock (where the river ceases to be tidal): one might have expected the lock itself to be a more natural division. The Thames Path passes the Boundary Stone.
