Thanks for these tips. As suggested, I've already googled and contacted BW and rung around, but I get the feeling you've just got to be in the right place at the right time when something becomes available. Or, commit to spending a lot more money on a boat that already has a permanent mooring. (Our plan was to bring a boat down from up north - but being realistic, that plan might need to be adjusted). Has anyone spent time living without a permanent mooring while working in London? Any experiences, comments or tips, apart from - "are you insane, don't do it!" :-) Thanks Ian

We're planning to move into a NB but I've got steady work in east London, so need a local mooring. We've checked out all the marinas but the response is always the same - no space, no waiting list, no chance. I wonder if Marina's treat people differently if you actually turn up on a living boat? I'm thinking we might just take a risk, move onto the water and spend a bit of time moving around until we find a secure mooring. Is this how other people have done it? Any tips v welcome. Ian F.
