South Dock Marina
South Dock Marina is London's largest marina and the only commercial marina in central London, tucked into a former Victorian dock in Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays. With over 200 berths, it's a surprisingly calm and characterful spot given how close you are to the heart of the city. The surrounding area gives you easy access to Canary Wharf, the Thames Path, and the old docklands heritage that makes this stretch of the river genuinely interesting to explore.
