St Katharine Docks

St Katharine Docks is a port in London's East End with over 180 berths spread across three linked basins and connected by bridges. The site accommodates sailboats and motorboats of different sizes and houses restaurants, shops, and homes along its waterfront edges.

The port opened in 1828 on a site previously occupied by a hospital and residential buildings. Since then it evolved from a working cargo port into a modern marina with private boats and residential use.

The warehouse buildings shape the character of the place and have been converted into restaurants and homes, keeping the maritime past alive in everyday use. Visitors and residents experience this history directly through these repurposed spaces today.

The location is accessible daily and offers various berths with electrical power in different capacities to match boat sizes. Round-the-clock security is available, and restaurants, cafés, and shops are located directly on the waterfront.

The location holds specialized berths for large private yachts that struggle to find moorings elsewhere in London. This infrastructure has made the port a preferred destination for megayacht owners.
