Hi Tommy,
A bit late in replying to your question but spent the last two days of the coarse season up on the wondrous river Wye, which is Ogris neck of the woods. Regarding the river at Hampton Court , it's not tidal there as Hampton Court is between Teddington and Molesey Locks, so usually the flow of the river is always towards the sea, providing there has been sufficient rainfall. Below Teddington Lock is tidal, although there is a "half lock" just below Richmond, to ensure there's always a sufficient depth of water in the Richmond area for navigation, irrespective of the state of the tide. The last few years the fishing has dropped off in that area, mainly due to the EA running off any rainfall as quickly as possible, so without decent flow the fishing suffers............Lecture over..............I bet you're glad you asked :lol

Hey Robbo thanks got the info matey, Knowing it is a point where more than one river joins makes sense, to start with I thought it was a loop in the Thames at that point forming like an Ox Bow. Cheers buddy much in the way of fish in that part before it gets to the polluted bits, although being quite tidal at that point probably does not make a lot of difference
