Water levels on the London canal network have started to recover due to the measures taken by the Canal and River Trust and the recent wet weather.

Although water levels have not fully recovered, we understand the extended navigational restriction is causing issues on the network. As a result, we are re-opening all of the currently closed locks today. We will reassess water levels daily, and if water levels start to drop, we may need additional closures at the weekend.

We would advise anyone that has to move, do so before Friday, in case closures need to be reinstated. For more information and assistance, please contact our Customer Service Team on 03030 404040.

Description

Due to ongoing low water level issues on the Regent's Canal, Lock 9, Mile End Lock will be closed to navigation to enable the water level gain over some time.

The situation is currently under review by the local Operations Team with the view to re-open the lock when practically possible.

For further information, customers are advised to call our Customer Support Team on 0303 040 4040 or Freephone Canals on 0800 47 999 47 if the query is urgent.
