Location guide
Ealing sits beside the Grand Union Canal at Hanwell, where the flight of locks climbs past the Wharncliffe Viaduct and Brent valley. It is one of the better-value London mooring areas, with Central, Elizabeth and District line services into the centre.
Yes. Long-term moorings on CRT-managed waterways require a current boat licence. River moorings under the Environment Agency require an EA boat registration. Most marinas handle this paperwork as part of the mooring agreement.
Most mooring fees include the berth space itself. Electricity, water, pump-out, and parking are often metered or charged separately. Always ask for a full breakdown before signing.
Most contracts run for 3, 6, or 12 months. Annual contracts are the most common. Monthly rolling agreements are available at some sites but usually at a premium. Notice periods are typically 1-3 months.
