Mooring a RIB in central London

[Boatshed London]

Any ideas on where to (economically) keep a 6m RIB in central London with relatively easy access to the river? I'm not thinking of the obvious places such as the marinas, but maybe a boatyard with slipway? Community mooring? Any ideas gratefully received!

Chas Newens on a swinging mooring along side the embankment
Chiswick Pier - owned by a trust....might be worth a try.
Richmond - above the lock and under the road/rail bridge (Some of these are also owned by Chas Newens)
Limehouse Basin
St Kats
Don't go for Chiswick Marina/Brentford - expensive and mainly live-a-boards

My friend keeps his rib in a marina in SE London - I'll find out where and post back

Marina in SE London, referred to above, likely to be South Dock by Greenland Pier. S'Good.

Worth trying Galleon's Point out by the barrier (cheapest).

Easier access from Hermitage Community Moorings (they have a website) - though don't know if they'll accept anything as new as a RIB on a permanent basis - they're for historical boats.

Erith Yacht Club?

... or Greenwich Yacht Club?

Another club to try, Hurlingham yacht club. They have a compound for ribs on trailers and only short hop to public slip. They are open on club nights (Thur ) after 8pm.
Located under Putney railway bridge. Google for address. Membership £105.00 rib and trailer £15 per week? am not sure of this figure any more.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

As I live in Wapping, and need the RIB a fair bit during the week, I guess my preference is for the east side of town, but that may not be possible. Would also prefer to be 'un-locked' with free access to the river. But this may all be asking too much!

Thanks again for your ideas, folks - I'll do some exploring this week.

Cheers,
Brian

Turns out he keeps his boat at Gallions Point Marina.
