[petem]

Where's the nearest Thames marina from where I live (Cheltenham)?

Thats a trick question. Its on the Thames of course.

Oxford is just under 40 miles from you as the crow flies. Presumably you want something big enough that wont fit under Osney Bridge so start working downstream from there....does that help?
Suppose Thames and Kennet at Reading and Harleyford at Marlow are nearest 'big' marinas but not sure.

There is actually one at Abingdon.
Benson (Cruiser Station) has some nice finger moorings "on-river".
Goring - The Swan Diplomat Hotel, has garden moorings (very nice).
Reading (Marine Services) cheaper, grottier and a bit close to Reading for my taste.
Thames & Kennet Marina - moored here for 10 years odd. V nice but a little bleak, but all services and brand new as just moved from one end of lakes to the other.

Any further down?

There's a couple of small/mid sized marinas at Wargrave (just upstream of Henley) but they are well equipped and take big boats

Then you're onto Harleyford, and a bunch of marinas in the Maidehead/Ascot stretch
