Book ahead for visitor moorings in London

London has some fantastic historic waterways that are alive with boats, so it’s not surprising that more people than ever want to visit London by boat.

To help ensure there is space for visiting boats, who would like the certainty of being able to visit and moor up in London, we are expanding the successful pilot of pre-bookable moorings in London.

From April 2024, we are introducing new pre-bookable moorings at Camden, Kings Cross Eco-Mooring and Angel Islington Eco-Moorings, for those who would like electricity when they moor up.

These extra pre-bookable mooring spaces will enable more people to visit London by boat and have the assurance of being able to moor somewhere when they arrive.

You will now find pre-bookable moorings in the following locations, priced between £25 - £35 per night:

Location and price

Little Venice	£25
Rembrandt Gardens (Little Venice Pool)	£25
Paddington Station	£25
Paddington Merchant Square	£25
Camden	£35
Kings Cross Eco-Mooring	£35
Angel Islington Eco-Mooring	£35
