Footpaths and roads on the Thames in Teddington are at risk of flooding today.

The Environment Agency issued a flood alert spanning the tidal Thames riverside from Teddington Weir to Putney Bridge.

High tide in Richmond is expected at 2.30pm on Sunday, November 15.

"Flooding of low-lying roads and footpaths is expected, which may exist for one to two hours either side of high tide. Flooding of properties is not expected," the alert reads.

"We believe there is a possibility of flooding for Putney Embankment (SW15), Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green (W4), Thames Bank at Mortlake (SW14), Ranelagh Drive (TW1), Friars Lane and Water Lane (TW9), Riverside and The Embankment at Twickenham, and the Towpath below Teddington Lock.

"Astronomical tide levels are rising. The river flow at Teddington Weir is normal for this time of year at 112 cubic metres per second and is rising, expected to peak in the early hours of Tuesday morning at 250 cumecs.

"We are closely monitoring the situation."
