Shepperton Lock, River navigation lock in Surrey, England
Shepperton Lock operates on the River Thames, enabling vessels to navigate between different water levels through a controlled chamber system.
The lock construction in 1813 by the City of London Corporation replaced a small watercourse known as Stoner's Gut that hindered river navigation.
The lock appears in Charles Dickens' novel 'Our Mutual Friend' and H.G. Wells' 'War of the Worlds' as a setting for key scenes.
Access to the lock comes through a lane on the left bank with two entrances, connecting to the Thames Path walking route.
The lock sits near Pharaoh's Island, a Thames island given to Admiral Nelson following his victory at the Battle of the Nile.
