Customer safety advice
The river is flowing extremely quickly and red strong stream warning boards are in place along the length of the river.
Please exercise caution when using the towpaths and accessing moored boats.
Please ensure that you check boat lines and gang planks for the safety of the vessel, and yourself.
Stay on a safe mooring and do not navigate.
Navigation guidance.
Navigation marks on shoals and underwater obstructions
When navigating upstream, leave red buoys to the left and green buoys to the right. When navigating downstream remember that the opposite rule applies. Avoid yellow and orange buoys as they mark hazards. For further advice, ask the local duty lock keeper.

If you keep your boat anywhere on the non-tidal Thames (including in marinas) you need to register your boat and pay the annual charge or risk being prosecuted for non-compliance and getting a criminal conviction. Most boat owners pay for their registration on time.
Contact the boat registration team on 03708 506 506.
Speed limit
The speed limit for all powered vessels on the non-tidal Thames is 8kph or 4.3kts or 5mph. Do not create wash whatever speed you are navigating at.
Key
- Caution strong stream
- We advise users of all boats not to navigate because the strong flows make it difficult and dangerous.
- Caution stream increasing
- We advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to find a safe mooring. This is because river flows are likely to strengthen and red boards could be displayed very soon and without warning.
- Caution stream decreasing
- We advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to navigate with caution.
