Anglers with disabilities
The River Thames offers a number of locations for anglers with special needs. The Environment Agency is, wherever possible, building or adapting fishing platforms for anglers with disabilities.
There are platforms for anglers in wheelchairs at the following locations:
Ray Mill - with free access, any registered disabled person may drive onto Ray Mill Island and park in the dedicated car park next to the platform- Penton Hook - an Environment Agency lock and weir permit is required to fish here
- Romney - day tickets are available on the bank. Parking is with permission from Tom Jones Boatyard, Riverside Walk
- Runnymede - day tickets and car parking available from the tea-room or the National Trust duty warden
- Silver Sands - on Truss's Island near Staines. There is free access and parking
- Jubilee River - free access from the car park at Lake End road.
