Mooring in Tidal Thames

[newtothames]

I plan to start boating in Thames and looking for a place to keep my boat; it is an 18ft boat.

Does anyone know anywhere between Teddington-Putney so I can keep my boat?

Here is a guide that may help?

What sort of boat is it ?

 

[newtothames]

Thanks, I will try this tomorrow. It is an 18ft Shetland type with cuddy cabin. Do you know how much is the annual mooring there?

 

[teddington_lock]

Not off hand , speak to them tomorrow.

Recently??

 

[newtothames]

I called all three of them, one does not pick up the phone, and other two said they don't have any space...!

Why Tideway?

Do you need to moor in the tideway ?
The non-tidal is much more user friendly - especially in a small boat.

PLA mooring? Who ones the moorings downriver from Hammertons, near Raftman?

 

[alruss]

The PLA have moorings at sveral locations, I know there a some in Putney, worth A try.
What part of the Tideway do you want to be in? the other option is join a club, they can usually find you a spot, especially a small boat. Greenwich and the Hurlingham are at either end of the London section of the tideway. Good Luck!

 

[newtothames]

how much is the annual membership there? are you a member yourself?

 

[alruss]

Am a member of one, £105 per annum membership I think.

 

[Forbsie]

Alan Ward at Lion Boathouse definitely has space, particularly after the draw-off. He admitted that it was probably him that didn't answer the phone.

Thanks Forbsie,
I will try to call him tomorrow. Cheers.
