Traversing London. Booked a mooring at LCMuseum.

Heading up the Lee, what's a good next mooring area after museum?

TIA

NB our LCMuseum mooring is on a Monday so museum not open...... is it obvious where to moor when we get there?

The museum mooring is towards the end of Battlebridge Basin in the left. Most people turn the boat before mooring up to make getting away easier. Power and water is available. If you are leaving the boat you will need the code for the gate to get back in which you should have got when booking.

Unless it's changed you'll need an adaptor from 13 amp to socket to 16amp.

Not correct, power is available from a 16 amp socket

Never found one when we visited a couple of years ago.

From the Canal Museum I would go to Limehouse Marina and moor on the 24hr VM'S there, there's usually plenty of space. Then have an early ish start up the River Lea and go as far as you can, Cheshunt should be easily achievable. I moored outside the cafe and little basin there but can't remember what it's called. From then on you can stop wherever you feel like I think.

I find that Ponders End is a reasonable days boating from Central London where you can nomally moor.

If you need boat level easy access the disabled moorings are currently being utilised by CRT to moor Jena (she has been there for over a week now) for an "event" with no end date on the mooring restriction.  Otherwise the "wall" only had one other vessel on the 24hour spot this morning on my way to the office.
