London City Intelligence Profile
London takes 70–80% of its water from the Thames and the Lee, and in 2026 that supply came under drought pressure, with Lower Thames reservoirs at 53.1% at the end of September and a hosepipe ban in force since 23 July. The profile sets out who supplies and regulates water in London, the key operating and financial figures for Thames Water and the three water-only companies, the status of the city's major projects, and the decisions to watch.
