St Katherine Docks, London.

[Pen Pusher]

On my trips down to London, if I'm in the Tower Bridge area, I have a wander around St Katherine Docks as there are usually some big boy's ocean going dinghies parked up in there. On my last visit there was an interesting looking catamaran and apart from its rather tall sail mast it had a gang plank sticking out the back. Great for playing Pirates. A bit of Googling and it's the Lucy Z(LZ) a sailing catamaran which was launched from the Sunreef Yachts shipyard in Gdansk, Poland in September 2015 and after sea trials in the Baltic was going to its new owner. 'Salida IV' is registered in the USA and 'Lady Sandals' is owned by the chairman of holiday company Sandals Resorts International and it once used to belonged to actor Nicholas Cage. The Queen's row barge 'Gloriana' had been out and about over the summer and I presume it's back in dock for the winter.

Lovely selection Brian of the big boys toys at St Katharine Dock.Gloriana always seems out of place there.
Have stayed at nearby Tower Hotel a few times.

I was in Tobacco Dock working for an events logistics company supporting another hospitality company two days last week, while the Festival of Marketing (!!!) was on. There is a very rough looking replica of what I assume is a tobacco carrying ship in part of the dry dock.
