Teddington RNLI Station opened in 2002, and is one of the RNLI's newest lifeboat stations. Last year, Teddington RNLI’s lifeboats launched on service 96 times to assist people in trouble on our patch. This achievement was made possible by the dedication of the volunteers at Teddington who work tirelessly to keep the local community safe.
