Penton Hook Lock, River lock in Middlesex, England
Penton Hook Lock spans 266 feet in length and features a width of 24 feet, managing water levels for vessels on the River Thames.
The original lock structure was constructed in 1815 after Parliament passed an enabling act in 1814 to address navigation and erosion issues.
The lock remains integral to Thames river life, connecting communities while supporting both commercial navigation and recreational water activities.
Access to the lock is available through Blacksmiths Lane and Riverside, with dedicated parking spaces reserved for blue badge holders near the facility.
The lock faces an island that was previously a pronounced river meander, known as a hook, making it the third longest lock on the Thames.
