Brentford Gauging Lock was once one of the busiest places on the Grand Union Canal / River Brent. Today, Brentford Lock is a great place for a walk and cycle.
Just a 10 minute jaunt around the towpath is the Thames Lock the final lock on the Grand Union Canal and the gateway to the River Thames.
Or if your prefer the 15 minute walk the other way, you'll find Syon House and Park.
Look out for our welcome station at Brentford - a place to stop for a chat with our friendly volunteers and pick up some information about the local area. The welcome station is is open when our volunteer lock keepers are on site which tends to be from April to October between 11 to 3pm but is subject to change. If you were planning a visit you can email [email protected] to check.
