Coverage detail

Postcode coverage in Teddington

Teddington is in the TW11 postcode district, which covers the town centre, Teddington Lock, and the residential areas between Hampton and Twickenham. TW11 has a Thames riverside character with the famous Teddington Lock - the dividing point between the tidal and non-tidal Thames.

Non-fault accident support in Teddington

Teddington is a prosperous outer south-west London residential town on the non-tidal Thames, best known for Teddington Lock and Studios (the former BBC studios site on Broom Road). The town centre on High Street is a local retail and restaurant area with a strong independent business character. Teddington is served by Teddington station on the South Western Mainline to Waterloo and by a number of bus routes connecting to Kingston and Twickenham.

Teddington Lock and the nearby Weir are significant recreational draw points that generate pedestrian and cyclist traffic from both the north and south bank towpaths. The pedestrian footbridge at the lock and the vehicle bridge a short distance upstream are the only river crossings in this section of the Thames, creating a local concentration of cross-river traffic on the approach roads. The lock area road network is a consistent source of cyclist-vehicle conflicts on the towpath access roads.

The Hampton Road (A313) runs north-south through Teddington, connecting the town to Hampton to the south and Twickenham to the north. This road is 30mph and carries moderate through-traffic alongside significant local residential and school-run use. The junction of Hampton Road with Broad Street and the approach to the town centre is the town's primary commercial conflict point.

Traffic and road conditions in Teddington

The A313 Hampton Road is Teddington's primary arterial road, at 30mph. The High Street itself is a lower-volume local access road with a 20mph zone around the shopping area. Bus routes 281 and R68 serve the town. Traffic volumes are moderate compared with the town centres to the north but the school-run peaks around Hampton Hill School and the local primary schools create predictable congestion on the High Street approaches.

Park Road and Broad Street provide the secondary east-west access through Teddington. These roads are 20mph and carry residential traffic and local deliveries. The towpath access roads near the lock are unclassified and very narrow, with passing-place conflicts common when two vehicles attempt to use them simultaneously.

How we handle Teddington accident claims

Local roads in Teddington are London Borough of Richmond upon Thames highways. TfL holds CCTV on the A313. The towpath access roads near the lock are unclassified and CCTV coverage is limited. Dashcam evidence is particularly important for incidents on the lock approach roads.

Teddington Studios development (the former BBC site) continues to generate construction traffic on Broom Road during the site's phased redevelopment. Construction vehicles on local roads are a source of incidents and we advise clients to note the construction site operator details for any incidents involving construction vehicles on the development approach roads.

Major roads and known hazards in Teddington

The road authority for each route is identified so the right disclosure request (council, Transport for London, or National Highways) can be filed inside the typical 14 to 31-day CCTV retention window.

Yes. TW11 is within the ULEZ.
My accident was on a towpath access road near Teddington Lock - is there CCTV?
