London’s waterways are showing their wild side this weekend as water levels continue to rise along the Thames River.

City officials have issued a warning about elevated water levels that are expected to remain high throughout the weekend, urging residents to exercise extreme caution around all local waterways.

The high water advisory comes as spring rainfall has caused water levels to swell, creating potentially dangerous conditions for anyone venturing too close to the river’s edge.

Officials are specifically asking Londoners to avoid any flooded areas completely and to keep both children and pets away from all watercourses until conditions improve.

The City of London shared the advisory on social media Friday afternoon, emphasizing the importance of public safety during this period of elevated water levels.

For those looking for additional information about current water conditions and safety precautions, the City has provided a resource page with more details that can be accessed here.

While the Thames River is a beloved feature of London’s landscape, this weekend it demands respect from a distance as nature takes its course.
