Purely out on interest and nothing to do with any possible trip.
Question for those whos nav software/charts are at home and not on the blimming boat. ?
Rough idea will do,need not be to nearest cable,already have my bit of lead line with tallow on the end.

distance

I think its a bit further than that - I don't have charts to hand but I seem to remember about 40 m from Tower Bridge to the end of Sea Reach - so you've got another 20 m to Richmond and another 15 to the Swatch (just guessing).
I reckion about 75 m in all.:rolleyes:
 
Distance from passage plan from PHYC gives distance Teddington - Mid Swatch as 55 miles which I guess is from GPS. Mine packed up the morning we left Teddington but our log recorded 45 miles (tide assisted).

Not sure OP meant the Swatchway as that couldn't be RCC's start point. Possibly Queenborough which would only add a couple of miles or so.
