Romney Lock, Navigation lock near Windsor, United Kingdom
Romney Lock stands on the River Thames adjacent to a boatyard and Romney Island, approximately half a mile downstream from Windsor Bridge.
The Thames Navigation Commission constructed the first wooden lock at this location in 1798, initiating regulated water flow management in the area.
The lock forms an integral part of the Thames waterway system, connecting communities and supporting maritime activities between Windsor and neighboring regions.
Access to Romney Lock requires following a single track road starting from the car park behind Windsor and Eton Riverside railway station.
A 200-kilowatt hydroelectric generation station installed at Romney Lock in 2011 supplies renewable energy to Windsor Castle.
