Marina Info

Brentford Dock Marina is situated on the tidal River Thames at the mouth of the Grand Union Canal, between Kew Bridge and Isleworth, in the southern part of Brentford, Middlesex. Once a working dock, today, it is one of London's undiscovered treasures.

The Marina is exceptionally well located for boat owners in West London.
