EA offers special two-day Christmas licence

Visitors to the Thames can take advantage of a discounted licence over the Christmas period

The Environment Agency (EA) is offering a special two-day, low-cost licence for the Thames over the Christmas period.

From tomorrow till 30 December, all boaters passing through Teddington Lock can buy a two-day licence for only £10 for the stretch of river up to Molesey Lock.

The EA says the special offer “will mean boaters can get a taste of the river further upstream of London, and, with Christmas just round the corner, can enjoy a spot of festive shopping at Kingston”.

Boaters will also be able to moor overnight at Teddington Lock for £5.50.

If the scheme is effective in attracting more boats to cruise the Thames in winter, the EA will consider extending the deal into the spring.
