Pickett's Lock

Pickett's Lock is a lock on the River Lee Navigation in the London Borough of Enfield, England and is located near Edmonton, London. It gives its name to the surrounding area of Picketts Lock. In common with other locks as far upstream as Ponder's End Lock it is large enough to take barges of up to 130 tons. However it has not been upgraded to power operation and so it must be manually operated. It has gate paddles but these do not have gate baffles to mitigate the rush of water into the lock.

Picketts Lock was marked on the Ordnance Survey map of 1877, that is 'lock associated with the Picot or Pickett family'. Picketts feld located nearby is also named from this family, who take their surname from one Picot de Marisco recorded locally in the 13th century.
