5 of the 40 told us in the last six weeks they have space: Better Boating Co., Campbell Wharf Marina, Dover Marina, Littlehampton Marina and Shepperton Marina. Each page shows the date they told us and what they have.
4 of the 40 say you can: Grove Lock Marina (liveaboard by arrangement), Medway Bridge Marina (liveaboards allowed), Swale Marina (liveaboards allowed) and High Line Yachting (liveaboards allowed). Living aboard can need planning consent and council tax; ask each site about its terms.
On top of the mooring fee: of these, 7 need a Canal & River Trust boat licence, 10 need Environment Agency registration (Thames, Medway, Anglian waterways) and 2 need the navigation's own licence. Coastal marinas usually need none.
