NARROW BOATING
Introduction
Narrow boating on the Tidal Thames presents a unique set of challenges, but for the experienced it can be a most rewarding experience, whether just hopping between Teddington and Brentford, or going all the way through Central London to Limehouse.
Safe passage requires a sound knowledge of the effects of the tidal stream, including the resultant currents and variable depths which are not found on the (non-tidal) canal system.
The passage between Teddington and Limehouse is only recommended for the experienced boater, as waves over a metre tall and tidal flows in excess of four knots can be encountered.
The guidance on this page covers the entire river, for local information please get in touch using the contact details below.
