Boating in London
Being on the water in London is a totally new
way of experiencing the city. Over the last decade opportunities to
make a splash in London have really increased with major investment
in the Docklands, groundbreaking preparations for the Olympics and
the restoration of many of the capital's most iconic reservoirs and
waterways.
Now, it’s much easier to get involved in water
activities, whether you’re cable-skiing and ringo racing on a lake
at Chertsey, chartering a luxury motor yacht along the Thames or
kayaking in Surrey Docks Watersport Centre on a hot summer’s day.
London is a place of diversity and innovation so expect the
unexpected!
