Marlow Lock, River lock in Marlow, England

The lock structure spans 46 meters in length and 6 meters in width, managing water levels on the River Thames near Marlow Bridge.

Records from the Domesday Book mention a weir at this location, while the first pound lock was constructed by Thames Navigation Commission in 1773.

The lock area witnessed Percy Bysshe Shelley creating The Revolt of Islam during his residence in Marlow along the river.

Visitors need to park in Marlow town center and walk to the lock, as no dedicated parking spaces exist at the structure.

Lock Island, situated between the lock and weir, contains private residences accessible only by footbridge or direct river transport.
