The Jubilee River is a hydraulic channel in southern England. It is 11.6 km (7.2 mi) long[1] and is on average 45 metres (148 feet) wide.[2] It was constructed in the late 1990s and early 2000s to take overflow from the River Thames and so alleviate flooding to areas in and around the towns of Maidenhead, Windsor, and Eton in the counties of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. It achieves this by taking water from the left (at this point eastern) bank of the Thames upstream of Boulter's Lock near Maidenhead and returning it via the north bank downstream of Eton.[3] Although successful in its stated aims, residents of villages downstream, such as Wraysbury, claim it has increased flooding in those locations.[4]

The Jubilee River runs through Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, parallel to the River Thames for 11 km. A variety of weirs and control gates allow for flow management during flood periods.
