Spent a couple of nights in St Kats no problems getting berth using online booking system.
Late evening lock in and only boat in lock after coming down from Teddington.
Just made it under Hammersmith, very little else on the river , no swimmers
, only the odd scull and sailing dinghy causing us to slow down to prevent wash.
Quite few vacant berths visible on entry.
Berths filled following day by large group of sailing yachts, mostly from East Coast locations.
Went round to watch a lock in, no improvement in amount of wash caused by passing craft and great respect to one chap with tiny little Thames type cruiser who braved the lock entry.
Very few foreign flagged boats noticeable.
One or two large charter Princess on moorings and couple of monster Norhaven towering over everything.
Usual impeccable service once in and very helpful staff.
06.00 lock out .
River like mill pond for entire trip home, even spotted some Porpoises ?.
Large liner moored just up from Greenwich.
Costs as you would expect, however you do get the chance of a free staple to attach your invoice to your debit card receipt.
Declined their kind offer.
A late night wander across Tower Bridge suggests that the number of tourists from all over the globe has not diminished one iota but the number of folks wandering around in St Kats during the day/evenings has noticeably declined with the chain resturants empty and the Dickens Pub very quiet indeed.
