Jubilee River

The Jubilee River is a new channel which was built during the 1990s to divert flood waters from the River Thames around Maidenhead, Windsor and Eton.

Despite being man-made, the Jubilee River was designed to look and act like a natural river. Its banks also provide habitats to a vast variety of wildlife, which it is hoped will replace habitats lost on the banks of the Thames caused by urban expansion in the last century.
