Chiswick Life Boat Station - is one of four RNLI lifeboat stations on the Thames which became operational in 2002, following the inquiries into the sinking of the pleasure cruiser, The Marchioness. The lifeboat has a mix of full time and volunteer crew. It is the second busiest RNLI lifeboat station.

National Flood Forum website is an independent site set up by three people who were involved in flooding back in 2000 It started with funding from the environment agency and is focused on helping communities.

The table below shows the dates and times at which an unusually high tide is expected on the River Thames around Chiswick. Areas that may flood during very high tides include Chiswick Mall and the towpath at Strand on the Green. Some minor encroachment of the river on to the carriageway of Chiswick Mall may also occur during other high tides.

This table contains predictions and is meant as a guide only. Some flooding may occur on other dates, tides can peak earlier or later than the predicted times, and actual tide heights will be affected by the weather (recent rainfall, atmospheric pressure and wind strength and direction). Hence no warranty is provided, and we cannot accept any responsibility for accident, damage or injury caused through the use of the tide tables.

The times in the table are calculated for Chiswick Mall. Add 10 minutes for Strand on the Green. All times are local (GMT or BST according to the season). The tide heights are the predictions for London Bridge.

The table below lists only the highest tides of the year, those of 7.2 metres and above at London Bridge. This year, Richard Jennings has obtained the agreement of the Port of London Authority to publish full tide tables for Chiswick, showing heights and times of all high and low tides for the year. These, together with other information about tides on the Thames, are available on his website http://tides.rjen.me.uk (link opens in new tab/window).
