Iffley Lock

A Thames-side lock and weir south of the centre, best enjoyed as a quiet walking stop with boats and river views.

Iffley Lock

Why go

Iffley Lock gives an Oxford river experience away from the busiest college streets. Watch the working waterway from the public approach and combine it with Iffley church or the Thames Path for a balanced south Oxford outing. It offers a quiet alternative to the central sightseeing circuit.

What to look for

  • The lock chamber and moving boats
  • The riverside approach and weir setting

Useful to know

  • Use the public riverside paths and heed any temporary lock or towpath closure notices.
