St Katharine Docks
St Katharine Docks
St Katharine Docks sits on the north bank of the Thames immediately downstream of Tower Bridge, making it central London's only marina and a direct access point to the Upper Pool.
Designed by Thomas Telford and opened in 1828, the two linked basins connect to the river via a tidal lock, with entry available roughly two hours before to one and a half hours after high water.
The marina accommodates up to 185 berths for vessels up to 40 metres, with water, electricity, wi-fi, washrooms, and laundry facilities on site.
It serves both annual berth holders and visitors, and its position alongside the Tower of London makes it a notable arrival point for boats approaching central London from the Thames.
