St. Katharine Docks, London. The oldest dock in London can trace its origins back to the 10th century. It was also the first London dock to close and has now been completed re-developed for leisure and residential use.

The marina east of Tower Bridge. The close of a Tower Bridge walk, not a mall. Next is Tower Bridge — do not also stack Canary Wharf the same day.
Analysis
Match the boat at St Katharine Docks, not the attraction's opening time. The marina all day. Wind or an upstream lock changes the sailing. After you land, use Tower Hill. A boat is not a timed Tube.
Best time
Afternoon
How to go
About 8 min from Tower Hill
Transit
The walk from the pier to Tower Hill is on foot. If St Katharine Docks is late, switch to the DLR or Tube. Do not wait out the next district's plan.
Season window
Summer sailings at St Katharine Docks are frequent and winter ones are not. Christmas and fog stop boats. Do not book a winter boat on a summer timetable.
Tips
- · Tickets: Free. Plan about 25 minutes.
- · The dock is flat; use it when you are walked out
- · The deck at St Katharine Docks is windy. Ask before taking a pushchair on board. Bikes are usually refused.
