Visited 2025

Fun spot to see different types of boats

From the source

Small marina just east of Tower Bridge, with quayside paths, moored boats, restaurants, and a quieter pocket of water beside the City. It works well as a short detour between the Tower of London and Wapping.

St Katharine Docks is best treated as a public waterfront district rather than a gated attraction. Public access and event activity are generally available daily, while marina operations and some retail/restaurant hours vary by tide and event schedule. Marina reception is currently listed as 09:00-17:00 daily and summer lock operations run roughly 08:00-20:00 around tide windows.
