Tide Times and Defibrillator Locations – now on the Kew Soc site
“Ever walked along the towpath from Kew to Barnes only to find that the tide is so high that you get blocked by the river water? Well no more, as the Kew Society’s new website provides tide times for each day.
New Live Tide Times Feed
You can find the live feed of the daily tide times in the new “Kew Info” section at the top of our website under “Tide Times” and also at the bottom of our home page. They are provided by tidetimes.org.uk.
In fact, why not use the tide times to plan a circular walk to Barnes? The path alongside Dukes Meadows on the north side doesn’t flood and you can cross the river both at Chiswick Bridge and the pedestrian walkway attached to Barnes railway bridge.
Just remember to go whichever way round that means you walk the towpath at the lowest tide. It makes a very pleasant four mile walk.”
Defibrillator Locations
We hope you don’t need to use this but it’s important to know where to find this information if you do.
There are 10 officially registered defibrillators, also known as AEDs or Pads, in the Kew area, but do you know where they are?
We are providing this resource so that you can familiarize yourself with where they are. Remember, in an emergency always dial 999 and they will direct you.
Look in our new “Kew Info” section at the top of our home page under “Defibrillator Locations”.
This information is provided by the British Heart Foundation “Defib Finder” service and contains verified and updated information. Simply go to the link and enter your post code when asked.
These devices will certainly help save someone’s life if they are having a cardiac arrest, so it’s worth noting that you can find them.
If you want to brush up on how to use one, and we all ought to do this, there is some great information from the British Heart Foundation here:
