Observations.
Not that much traffic around and space to moor at everywhere we wanted to moor including Lady Lyndsies
Increase regards scruffy small Livaboard craft well past their sink by date hiding in the vegetation.
Not that many rowers around but more swimmers and paddleboarders.
About 50% of locks manned but no real holdups at any of the unmanned locks.
Only got told off once for excessive wash.
Excellent meals at Italian Concept and Tides End and a very expensive one in the resturant opposite DB Marine.
On the way back to Teddington noted nine narrow and wide beam boats taking up moorings at Hampton Court, not a single cabin cruiser.

Speedy and helpful service from Teddington lockeeper on our 05.00 departure .
Quiet through Central London and nice little wind against tide "suprise" at the bottom of Sea Reach, across the Swatchway and into the Mudway.
