St Katharine Docks, Port marina in East End, England
St Katharine Docks features 185 berths spread across three basins connected by bridges, accommodating vessels up to 42 meters in length.
The docks opened in 1828 as a commercial shipping center, replacing an ancient hospital and 1250 houses in the east section of London.
The marina maintains its maritime heritage through preserved warehouse buildings, now transformed into waterfront restaurants and residential spaces.
The marina operates daily from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, providing electrical connections from 16 to 125 amp and round-the-clock security services.
The location includes 16 specialized berths designed specifically for megayachts, making it a primary London destination for large private vessels.

London offers far more than Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace. Away from the main attractions, numerous sites remain unfamiliar even to many locals. This selection includes the ruins of St Dunstan-in-the-East, where a medieval church has been transformed into a public garden, the Sir John Soane's Museum with its antiquities and architectural fragments, and Dennis Severs' House, a Georgian townhouse preserved as a lived-in time capsule. The collection features gardens such as Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park and Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, historic buildings like the 14th-century Charterhouse and St Bartholomew the Great, London's oldest parish church. It also covers unusual museums including the Old Operating Theatre, Europe's oldest surviving surgical theater, and industrial monuments like Crossness Pumping Station with its Victorian steam engines. Leadenhall Market displays Victorian architecture in the financial district, while God's Own Junkyard in Walthamstow exhibits thousands of neon signs. Other sites range from the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu temple in Neasden to Wilton's Music Hall, London's oldest music hall, and the Victorian dinosaur sculptures at Crystal Palace Park. Little Venice presents canals lined with houseboats, the Freud Museum preserves the psychoanalyst's London home, and Keats House commemorates the Romantic poet. These locations provide insights into history, architecture, and culture beyond the standard tourist circuit.
