Near real-time sea level data from the UK Tide Gauge Network is available for download from the British Oceanographic Data Centre.

The UK National Tide Gauge Network of 45 tide gauges was set up as a result of severe flooding along the east coast of England in 1953 and is now owned and funded by the Environment Agency.
