Swan Draw Dock

The Environment Agency, alongside our construction partner Balfour Beatty, are currently refurbishing the tidal defences at Swan Draw Dock, on the northern shore of the River Thames in Hammersmith and Fulham, around 100 metres east of Putney Bridge. The draw dock forms part of the River Thames and protects the community from flooding and needs repair to maintain the protection it provides to Fulham.

The eastern and northern walls of the draw dock are now at the end of their serviceable live and need to be repaired.

This work will help to maintain the standard of protection the defence provides to people, properties and infrastructure from flooding from the River Thames.

The flood defence works will continue until spring 2027 and include:

• Removal and replacement of the northern wall
• Remediation and strengthening of the eastern wall
• Brickwork repairs

We are engaging with those affected by the works and the wider community to provide important project information and to highlight future drop-ins and events where you can ask us questions and share experiences. We also want to hear any of your thoughts and concerns about the project as it continues. You can find details of our regular drop-ins and other engagement events on the right hand side of this page.
