St Katharine Docks
Visiting by boat
Tucked just east of Tower Bridge, St Katharine Docks is Central London's only marina, offering 185 berths across three basins for boats up to 40m. It's surprisingly calm given how central it is — you're steps from the Tower of London and London Bridge, yet the docks themselves feel like a proper waterside village with restaurants, bars, and quirky office spaces right on the water.
From the marina's website, checked Oct 12. Confirm with the marina before arrival.
