Any Thames recommendations

Any decent sized yacht cannot precede beyond Tower Bridge due to height but it is possible to get some quite large motor boats up to Teddington and beyond.
A number of naysayers have grumbled on here in the past about the industrial wastelands from the estuary to the Barrier but what lies between that and maybe the MI5 building is worth the effort at the helm of your own boat.
Dont fancy / unable to do the pool " just jump on one of the Clippers , around £15.00 for an all day pass, most have bar as well.
They run from Greenwich to the Houses of Parliament and if you ever want to find out what its like to do 25 + knots in boat.

I did the tourist version rather than the high speed ferry back in November when I was in London for the weekend. Really enjoyed it, the commentary was very interesting and entertaining

With the clippers (UBER) you can jump on and off anywhere on the route, they run from early in the morning till late at night.
One route does go down beyond the barrier and on high days and holidays they do run right down to Gravesend.

As above Limehouse. I had my boat on the Thames. The tidal Thames is basically a commercial waterway and the marinas are only accessible at certain tide states.

there is no where to stop. I once tried to drop passengers on the London eye quay ( would have been 1 minute ) they have bouncers who are not very nice people.

post on the Thames forum for a more U.K. to date view , it other than the novelty of going through central London I would give it a miss. December will be cold.

100% agree.
You can drop off on the inside of the pontoon at St cats. Or you used to be able to.
I haven’t been back since they put the speed limit in. Must be as rolly as heck at D speed.
