Thames Lock marks the southern end of the Grand Union Canal; below here there is a short stretch of the tidal River Brent which then reaches the River Thames. The other extremity of the canal is at the equally urban Salford Junction in Birmingham, 137 miles and 166 locks away. This lock is operated during the winter months by prior arrangement only, between 0800 and 1600 depending on tidal conditions.
