Excellent video. A bucket wish list got fed in 2017 as we did the Thames from Kingston Upon Thames to Oxford over 12 days on the Wessex Rose (WR) and a canal nut was born. She is not exactly a do it yourself hire boat but when there was work to be done I was there. In 2018 we did Pewsey to Bristol on the K &A and lots more work which I live for. What history to work and live in. In 12 days we will once again board the WR at Stoke Bruerne on the Grand Union for a 14 day cruise and will make this journey from Brentford to Teddington a 14 ending in Kingston Upon Thames. This therefore was most educational and only serves to stoke the fire. Next year we shall finish the K & A from Pewsey to Reading before finishing in Windsor. Thanks for sharing. Loved it.

Two Ropes: So, at Teddington and up to the sourse beyond St Johns we ask for two ropes because of the variety in the river users and in the locks. On the canals you'll have predominantly narrowboats in locks built just wide enough for the boat. So a 6'10" wide boat in a 7'6" wide lock. Whereas on the Thames we see vessels between 3" and 20' wide and from 6' to 120' long. We treat everyone the same and work to the lowest denominator. The locks also vary widely around 120' long to 600'. 16' wide to 23' and with a depth between 2'6" and 9'. Some fill from the gates, others from the bottom and some do both at the same time. Hope that helps ;)

It's a canal bridge that connects Edinburgh ( The Union canal ) and Glasgow ( Forth and Clyde canal ) . If you search on KZbin. London Boat Girl made 3 excellent videos about Scotland's canals :-) .

Thanks for this video especially as it covered a stretch of the Thames I knew well from my youth. It was nice to see how much had changed and even more how much hadn't. I think your commentary on Eel Pie Island was a bit under done. It was in the 1960s one of the hotest venues in London. Just about anyone who wanted to be someone went to the Island and performing groups included the Rolling Stone, Bowie, The Who, Status Quo (I think but I wasn't really all there that evening) and many, many more. It was also the best pick up venue I have ever known. If a boy or girl couldn't pull at Eel Pie Island they would never pull anywhere.

That is if they were lucky enough not to have run aground at dead high tide.

Lovely video Jasmin, thanks for sharing, was wondering if any expert Thames boaters here because i thought Richmond to Teddington is only tidal when Richmond lock sill is down (-1+1 HW Richmond) then the wall is raised and the lock is used -2+2 HW with 8 pound fee. So when the sill is raised Richmond to Teddington becomes non tidal.. If going upstream at an average speed of 4-5KT i suggest you leave 45 minutes before HW of your current location and not destination, then you will just ride the tide all the way up.

Somewhere along the Thames near here (?) on the left (N) side, a family built a house right on an island in the river where it often flooded so the design was like a concrete tub inside another sunken one. You can find the video on Great Designs on KZbin. The concept was that as the river rose into flood stage the house rose accordingly because it floated . Trouble was that when completed they discovered that it would not stay completely level due to the extra weight of their possessions and furnishings... duhhhh.. so they had to add weight in the exact location which would balance it. iAlso the stupid contractor’s ‘barge’ used to get machinery onto the island tipped over and the JCV submerged.all the materials had to be brought to the island by barge. The owners also had to battle with neighbors who wanted nothing to change and reveal their outdated homes. More money than sense although the end result was pleasing. NB They aren’t summer houses, they are BOAT HOUSES.

a friend of mine recently did this. and her boat is 4? feet long, and only has a beta 20 HP engine! if you know someone experienced, take them with you as my friend did. (she took the deputy editor of canal boat magazine!).

Haha, I'd prefer a boat, van or tiny house over a huge house any day. Less to worry about

Ironwork on that bridge at Richmond Lock at 20:30 is impressive. So is the detailing in brickwork on end buildings. Am looking at it on Google Street View. Is really cool to have that to see neat things around the world.

Aw man, I was hoping for a closeup but it was skipped.

Whoa, combined motions of boat passing beneath Twickenham Road bridge and train crossing on bridge behind made me dizzy!!! :D

Excellent video girl, the extremely high tides are from a king tide and sometimes a low pressure system at the same time. Global warming will not do those buildings any favours either. I noticed one of the boats you passed was painted much the same as your colourful shorts, lol. Hey loved this video so all the very best

Very nice video. Thank you! Why do you have a tire on top of your boat? Do you ever have to remove your garden going through tunnels?
