Very roughly how much would it cost to keep a 14' boat afloat somewhere on the Thames nearish London?
Very quick mooring cost

Nearish London? Tidal or non tidal as in above Teddington or not? that's a big question, seconded only by how big is the universe...

Really is a how long is a piece of string...above tedd expect to pay over 150 per meter per year (ball park) yes you will need a licence above tedd say 200 quid for a 14 foot. these are very rough, you will get cheaper and far more expensive.
Some places wont take a 14 ft as it prone to getting nicked...

I paid £80/month for a parking bay for a rib on trailer about 5 years ago on the Non-tidal Thames.

Suggest that they (you) visit Boat Yards in various areas that they are considering to 'go boating' and say 'hello' what can you offer?
Considering the short boat length, using a trailer for usuall 'ashore' storeage with 'launching' when required might be best 'first' option!
Insurance should be built into the costings, but the 'cart before the horse' syndrome means finding a suitable place to do the 'boating' first.
Would have thought that the 'tidal' reaches are the 'cheaper' option, Putney might be worth a visit?
Good hunting

We had an 18ft RIB (moored on the water) at Kew Marine, right by Kew Bridge, I think we were paying £85 per month, but your options are fairly limited as space is very difficult to find on the Tidal section.
As for speed limits, 8 knots from Teddington to Wandsworth, then 12 knots down to Margaretness.
There are a few places near Chiswick & Chelsea if that helps, but expect to pay a lot more than £85 per month!
