Does anybody know where to find or the mooring prices, either daily or weekly for Limehouse Marina.
St Kats is easy to find online, not so for LH.

Did a comparison at begining of 2022 at the daily rate between the two marinas and it was significant, the weekly rate less so.
OG would like to go to Limehouse, cheaper, laid back and quieter.
The C-in-C wants demands to go St Kats, everything important on the door step , this translated means .....No long hikes to get to food and drink.

If you are going to London then St Kats surely provides a much better sense of occasion, as well as being better placed for just about everything. I would think thats worth a few quid more.

Having been to both, I find Limehouse a rather depressing place.

A longish post.
When I was young, happy, still had principles and a sense of humour, St Kats would have been the only destination, it was the happening place, cost would have been of some consequence but not a show stopper , bearing in mind as working person money was tight.

A few years previously helped recover/rescue a friends boat from Limehouse , on first impressions a bit underwhelmed to say the least.
Bit of a tin slug graveyard.
In 2022 a ad-hoc RCC cruise to The Smoke saw skippers divided between St Kats and Limehouse, mainly due to capacity.
OG some what reluctantly ended up in Limehouse, was suprised to find the arrival was much more relaxed and the welcome warm.
However it all seemed a bit to laid back so a few of us decided to walk up and see how the other half of the fleet in St Kats was getting on, and perhaps cadge a free refreshment or two.
It was like one of the circles of hell , you could not move for tourists and visitors ......and mumbled grumbles about the "Devil take the Hindmost" locking in system as well.
It was blessed relief to get out of the dock and walk back down Wapping High St. to the blessed peace and tranquilty of Limehouse.

Now retired with the irkesome OAP problem of what to spend all the money on and the rates gap between SK and Limehouse closing !
Limehouse is looking more and more attractive, shame you need to work at GCHQ to discover the prices.
West India.
Harder to get into than Heaven.

Chelsea. Best bogs in the entire universe only a very select few get in here.

South Dock with film a crew in action.
Cheap and cheerful. Shame its in the Gulag of Sarf London......On the wrong side of the river Innit.
