Day 39: Packet Boat Marina to Paddington Basin

After a few days of heavy rain it was a relief to have a dry day. We'd prebooked a visitor mooring at Paddington Basin for a reasonable £25 for the night and the 16 lock-free miles from Uxbridge was straightforward, only slightly held up by a few cruisers which had slipped mooring ropes and which we had to carefully avoid. We set off at 9.15am and arrived at 2.30pm, to find our reserved spot immediately outside Paddington Station.

 

Difficult to believe - Catnap at Paddington!

One of the bridges at Little Venice

As everywhere in London, new high rise buildings going up


We've been studying the 'bridge arch' notes that Simon sent - this is the one for Westminster Bridge. We must go under the arch marked with the upward arrow, unless there's a stop light on it in which case it's the next arch going from right to left.  There's also the HofP exclusion zone, which if breached results in armed paras boarding, or something like that
