Lockwood Reservoir, Protected reservoir in Walthamstow, England.

Lockwood Reservoir spans 26.6 hectares with a maximum depth of 10.4 meters, forming part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain in North London.

The construction of Lockwood Reservoir in 1897 required 1,250 workers, steam-powered machinery, and 50 horses to complete the extensive excavation project.

The reservoir contributes to Walthamstow Wetlands, which receives 250,000 visitors annually for nature observation and environmental education activities.

Thames Water maintains this water supply infrastructure that provides drinking water to millions of London residents through an integrated reservoir system.

The western embankment features specialized rock mattresses and reinforced turf matting to prevent erosion while supporting local wildlife populations.
