"This is a very picturesque place to be and we did a walk by the Thames into Richmond."

Another added: "Wonderful nature and views on a riverside walk to Teddington Lock.

"Interesting waterworks at the lock, lock keeper's house and impressive barrage and footbridge over the Thames."

One more continued: "Nice experience while watching how the Lock works in front of you, how the water gradually goes down or up for the boat to pass the river."
