One of London’s best kept secrets just halfway between the Millennium Dome and the Thames Barrier. Founded by a handful of Thames sailors, it now has over 400 members. The club caters mainly for yacht sailing enthusiasts and a limited number of motor cruising and dinghy sailors. Sail past Canary Wharf and the beautiful Royal Greenwich up London’s historic river or go down to the estuary for the East coast or a channel crossing. Motor cruisers can go right through the very heart of the capital, and have access the river Lee and inland waterways.

We run a programme of yacht and dinghy races all year round. All classes of yacht and dinghy are welcome, but the emphasis is on enjoyment and arguing over a pint in the clubhouse afterwards. Our site and facilities are first class, having been newly built in 1999. We have both drying and deep water moorings, a boat yard and workshops. We also have probably the best yacht club bar in England, built on an island site out in the river with stunning views to the city and down to the Thames Barrier.

If you’re interested come along on a Tuesday evening, and have a chat.
