Ponder's End Lock, Navigation lock on River Lee in Enfield, England.
The paired lock structure enables vessels to navigate a height difference of 7 feet 4 inches through chambers measuring 95 feet long and 19 feet wide.
British Waterways completed the mechanization and duplication of the lock in 1959 as part of an £864,000 project to enhance the navigation system.
The lock forms part of the River Lee Navigation system, connecting London's waterways and supporting recreational activities along the Lea Valley Walk.
Pedestrians and cyclists can access the lock via Wharf Road near the A110 crossing, with Ponders End railway station located within walking distance.
This lock marks the final upstream point where barges weighing up to 130 tons can navigate through the River Lee Navigation system.
