Paddington Basin Visitor moorings

[magpie patrick]

Hi Folks

 

I've been doing a lot of work around Paddington Basin recently, in connection with the proposed major works around the station. Every time I go I see signs saying "visitor moorings just towards the basin end from Bishops Bridge Road...

 

Waterscape claims they don't exist, although as waterscape also thinks the Slough Arm ends at Canvey By Sea and Stoke Poges it may not be reliable at the moment!

 

Does anyone know how long you can stay here. I'm writing a report that mentions them and it doesn't matter what the restriction is, but I need to say what it is!

If you have to quote it in a report probably safest to check with BW:

If you have to quote it in a report probably safest to check with BW:

...because they're bound to know.

...because they're bound to know.

 

 

problem is my client is BW...

 

and they don't know

 

However they are close enough to walk out of their office and look so I will get hold of them!

HAHA! Love it.

 

Surely the local mooring warden should have some idea? Right hand, left hand...

When I stayed there 14 months ago, the limit was 7 days. Closely monitored; I got an A4 leaflet on my cratch sometime during the first morning I was there. The office boat (Jena) is moored between Little Venice and the basin - they should have an idea!

Sorry I forgot to add the invisible tongue-in-cheek smiley.

7 days with no return in a two month period.

7 days with no return for 2 months according to BW enforcement bloke.

Thanks guys

 

that may well explain why the signs don't actually say anything...
