Teddington is a very small community on Banks Peninsula at the head of Lyttelton Harbour / Whakaraupō. It sits on the junction of the road to Gebbies Pass and the road from Purau to Christchurch.
It dates back to the early settlers of Christchurch but is now reduced to a pub and a restored working blacksmith's forge.
