Location guide
South Hackney lines the Hertford Union Canal — Duckett's Cut — along the southern edge of Victoria Park, linking the Regent's Canal to the Lee Navigation. Mooring is towpath-based and heavily in demand, with Hackney Wick and Cambridge Heath stations close by.
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.
