Drawdock

The name "Drawdock" appears at two locations on the River Thames according to available sources, so this entry refers to the Drawdock boat ramp at East Molesey or Teddington. Both are listed as public launching sites along the Thames.

The Teddington Drawdock is noted as suitable for small boats only, reflecting the shallower or more restricted conditions at that point on the river.

These traditional drawdock sites are simple, no-frills river access points that have long served as launch spots for small craft on the tidal and non-tidal Thames.

They form part of a network of public launching sites maintained for recreational boaters navigating the river.
