Limehouse Waterside & Marina

A place of calm in the heart of London

At Limehouse Marina, you're at the gateway between the River Thames and over 2,000 miles of navigable canals and rivers - it is your oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of London. Located between the City of London and Canary Wharf, it’s a modern marina that makes a perfect base to explore the capital.

Limehouse DLR station is a short walk from the marina with trains to Bank and Tower Hill, where you can join the Circle, District, Northern and Central lines. On the water, you are connected to the River Lee via the Limehouse Cut, the Regents Canal, and the River Thames via a tidal lock which operates 4 hours either side of low water.
