Draw-off: The Thames at Richmond is draining to exceptionally low levels at this time of year due to the opening of weirs for the annual draw-off. This allows for a riverbed inspection plus essential maintenance works on the lock, weirs and sluices. The weirs will remain open until Christmas Day. Photos by Yianni Papas
