On Chiswick Mall, the flood comes straight in from the river, flowing along
the road from the lowest point. The Brewery Tap at Brentford is actually on
the River Brent. Isn't it upstream of Thames Lock?

It is, but the section behind the lock up to the main brentford lock N of
the high street is partly tidal, which in this case I guess just means
keeps water in but doesn't keep it out.

You mean spring tides, I assume.

yep

That would explain why yesterday (Saturday) there was a queue of maybe
20/30 outside the shop even at 14:30.

AND the Teddy Bear shop on the other side of the market has closed.
