Hainault Forest - Thames Water leak
Published: 7 June 2025
Due to a major leak in a water main operated by Thames Water, there is currently no water at Hainault Forest Country Park.
Thames Water has confirmed the leak is situated at the front of the site, and it must be allowed to dry out for 48 hours before it can be repaired.
As a result of the water main leak, we've been forced to close the 1856 Café, Farm, and public toilets. These facilities are inoperable without water, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause.
Thames Water has assured us they will return on Monday to fix the leak. We are hopeful for a swift resolution to this issue.
The park and play area will remain open as usual, and our Park Ranger Team are also on-site to inform customers.
We understand that this unexpected situation beyond our control may disrupt your plans, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience it may cause.
