Londoners have been gazing in awe at a 'superyacht' that moored up near the iconic Tower Bridge, with some saying it's the "biggest boat" they've ever seen. The yacht reportedly turned up over the weekend, leaving Londoners wondering who owns it and what it's doing there. They were also keen to know the price tag.

Some found the yacht a little insensitive, considering that many people in London are struggling financially in the midst of the cost of living crisis. But as it so happens, the owner of the boat is no stranger to the capital.

Posting a picture of the boat on Reddit, one person wrote: "Seriously, this thing showed up this morning and is moored right by Tower Bridge. It's the biggest boat I have seen here, any idea who owns it?"

One person replied: "Sorry but not me as I can barely afford heating, so how the heck do you expect me to own a million dollar super boat?"

Turns out the boat, named 'Kismet', is owned by billionaire Shahid Khan, who also happens to own Fulham Football Club. Shahid bought the club from former owner Mohamed Al Fayed in 2013.

The Pakistani-American tycoon also owns NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars will be in town on October 30 to play against the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium, perhaps explaining why his boat is moored on the Thames.

The boat is said to currently be on sale for the cost of 169 million euros, or more than £140 million.

Not everyone was happy to see it docked in London. One said: "Waiting for Just Stop Oil to spray paint it as well. Would be brilliant." Another commented: "Think you should never show off such extravagance in a city with homeless people on the street."

Saying that, some Londoners claim they've seen better. "Gone are the Russian mega mega yachts, now come the toddlers," said one. "I mean, does this even have a helipad or two?"

Kismet, which means 'fate' or 'destiny' in Urdu, was built in 2014 and sails under the flag of Cayman Islands. It has its own swimming pool on board.

Superyachts spotted in London

Related articles, superyacht directory.

The UK capital may not be quite as picturesque as France's sparkling shores or Italy's beach-lined coasts - but evidently, there's still a certain appeal among yacht owners as an increasing number of superyachts set a course for London. 

Bravo Eugenia

Oceanco's 109-metre Bravo Eugenia has visited the Big Smoke many times, showing off a chiselled Nuvolari Lenard exterior and dazzling underwater light display. A sharp plumb bow and extended waterline make her one of the distinctive superyachts on the water, and she certainly cuts an elegant profile whenever she arrives in London. With her hybrid propulsion engine, she offers a quiet electric mode which allows her to consume 30 per cent less fuel than other motor yachts in her size class, making her one of the more eco-friendly yachts in the world . She was most recently sighted in November 2023 at Butler's Wharf Pier, Tower Bridge.

The 90-metre expedition yacht has been spotted anchored in front of Tower Bridge following delivery from Lürssen 's yard in Germany. Launched in February 2023, Norn has since travelled across the Baltic and North Sea, including a skirt around Sweden’s Skåne County and a brief stop in the port of Helsingborg on the 9 of June, according to BOATPro . Key features include an outdoor cinema and changeable-depth pool floor with dance floor illumination.

Prior to arriving in Canary Wharf, the 56-metre Benetti build enjoyed a cruising expedition in the cruising grounds from where she gets her name. Australia ’s Stefano Ricci lines and navy hull attracted plenty of attention along the Gold Coast, and the 2012 build has an equally impressive interior with three individual dining saloons. She was launched as Ulysses and later became known as Bash , and was formerly owned by two serial yacht owners.

Fresh from an Atlantic crossing that began in early May and a stop-off in Portsmouth, the 54.3-metre Amels yacht Revelry was spotted docked in Canary Wharf. The yacht has a textbook Tim Heywood exterior and interiors by Laura Sessa , as part of the Dutch yard's Limited Editions 177 series. She was launched as 4You in 2012 and changed ownership in 2021.

The 110-metre Kaos (ex- Jubilee ) is the largest yacht to pay a visit to London in recent years. She cruised up the Thames in May 2023, stopping in front of Butler's Wharf and Tower Bridge to show off her unique blue exterior penned by Lobanov Design . The multi-award-winning yacht has a stellar range of onboard amenities, including an 8.5-metre pool, aquarium and a multitude of custom-designed pieces not found on any other yacht. At the time of her last sale in 2018, she was one of the largest sales in yachting history. 

The third unit in Benetti 's highly popular Oasis 40M series, named Phoenix , has spent a significant amount of time cruising the coastline of Great Britain. Since her delivery in 2021, she has paid visits to Southampton and Ireland as well as to Canary Wharf and Tower Bridge. Key features include the signature Oasis deck, which boasts a glass-fronted dipping pool and unfolding bulwarks. The design of this model was so popular it inspired a smaller 34 metre series, with Zlatan Ibrahimović buying the first unit .

The 49-metre Reef Chief was spotted docked in the heart of Canary Wharf in 2022. The yacht was delivered by American yard Trinity in 2009 and has been designed with entertainment at its core. She is crowned by a large sundeck with an exterior bar, shaded dining area and TV screen, along with a Jacuzzi. Ten guests can be accommodated in five cabins, which are styled in classic polished wood and cream tones.

The 33.7-metre Van der Valk Blue Jeans made her maiden voyage to London after departing the shipyard in the Netherlands. Her cool blue hull added a touch of brightness to a dreary London day, and she spent her time cruising up and down the river showing off her custom Guido De Groot exterior. The all-aluminium yacht is one of the builder's most complex undertakings to date and is home to a foredeck "chillout lounge" with sun pads tucked into the bow, a U-shaped sofa and a dining table that pops up from the deck.

Fresh from a comprehensive refit and extension, the 44-metre motor yacht Brazil paid a visit to the River Thames in December 2022. The yacht was spotted moored outside St Katharine Docks Marina enjoying some winter sunshine in front of Tower Bridge. She was originally delivered by Heesen in 1993 and was relaunched in October following an extensive refit courtesy of a collaboration between three Dutch firms – Snijders Yachts, Zwijnenburg and Dutchflows. Work was primarily focused around the stern area, where the yacht was given a new beach club. The yacht is listed for sale with IYC .

Slipstream was delivered in 2009 as one of two 60-metre models from French shipyard CMN , Both exterior and interior were curated by Winch Design and the British studio has given her a smart navy hull with a distinctive grey superstructure. She features generous living and entertainment areas with an outdoor cinema on the sundeck and a hand-carved 4.5-metre totem pole at the centrepiece of a feature staircase. Owned by Canadian businessman Jack Cowin, Slipstream is currently available for charter by Burgess .

Having recently completed a cross-planet navigation that included Norway, the Maldives and Australia, 62-metre Stardust was spotted cruising up the Thames and into Canary Wharf in July 2022. The Amels build was handed over to her owners in 2020, and is the first and only hull in the Dutch yard's Limited Editions 206 series. Interior design comes from Laura Sessa, while Tim Heywood is responsible for the yacht's distinctive exterior, which is characterised by long lines of circular portholes and a cut-out segment in the hull line. 

The 75.6-metre Boardwalk is one of the newer deliveries from prestigious Dutch shipbuilder Feadship , and she caused a big buzz when she moored up on the Thames against the backdrop of Tower Bridge. Her aft deck helipad, generous beach club and huge TV screens were on full display to lucky onlookers who were able to catch a glimpse of her. 

Delivered in 2010 from Lürssen, 60-metre Bella Vita paid a brief visit to London, where she was seen along Butler's Wharf, just in front of Tower Bridge. Launched under the name Katie Sue II , the yacht became one of the top 50 most expensive yachts for sale in the world prior to her sale in January 2021. No doubt her new owner is enjoying her Glade Johnson interior and well-equipped sundeck. 

As one of the most recent deliveries from German shipyard Lürssen , 55.5-metre Moon Sand made waves when she cruised up the Thames shortly after delivery. The yacht has a number of innovative features on deck, including a recessed pool that can be drained and raised flush with the deck when not in use. The yacht's crisp profile and clean, soothing interiors are by legendary yacht design studio Bannenberg & Rowell. 

With her sky-blue hull and buttercup yellow exterior accents, the Abeking & Rasmussen -built 98 metre motor Aviva added some colour to the city when she visited. The yacht is home to an onboard paddel tennis court - the first of its kind ever installed - which had to be carefully engineered in order to create the correct level of bounce. 

Heesen's largest steel superyacht to date was spotted in London displaying her new name Lusine . The yacht hit the water in 2021 sporting a masculine exterior courtesy of Omega Architects and an interior by Sinot Yacht and Architecture Design . A glass elevator lies at the heart of the design while a touch-and-go helipad forward allows guests to come and go in complete privacy.

With her "champagne and caviar" interiors and two-deck video walls in the lobby, 95-metre Kismet is all about the wow factor. Her interiors are by Reymond Langton, while her exteriors are the work of Espen Øino and she features an impressive jaguar statue on the bowsprit. She marks one of the most expensive yachts for charter in the world , asking a cool €1,200,000 for one week.

MOORING RIGHTS

Nov 18, 2017

Introduction

There are moorings, some private, many leased or rented in our tidal and non-tidal waterways. Used by some for pleasure, others for work and a few for house-boats.  However, they and foreshore below or around have become more precious to us all.  In recent years although not exclusively this has been particularly true of the East of the Country and below contains a short summary of the most recent cases up to the Port of London Authority v. Mendoza [2017] .

Use of Words

There is in this area of law a number of words frequently used often in different ways. The following are just a few:

Most harbour authorities now whatever the old cases apply the current use of the word boat or vessel, particularly in Byelaws, “ every description of vessel however navigated propelled or moored and includes any ship, lighter, keel barge, boat, raft, pontoon, hovercraft, hydrofoil, vessel and any craft of any kind and any sea plane on the surface of the water” .

For centuries people have tied their boats or vessels along tidal estuaries where when the tide has gone down they have been able to repair and fix them. Some ship repairers still use the foreshore to repair and store vessels but some wish to use the foreshore to place their house-boats.   Any such rights are subject to rights of navigation and increasingly to control navigation through the Port Authority or Harbour Authority.   As the land becomes more precious and expensive some use often ignored by The Crown is now subject to Crown control and a charge but there was never or rarely attempt in the past to make a charge, with certain moorings not transferrable.

It has been mostly on the use of land or water for house-boats that many of the cases have led to Court decisions.

The Recent Cases

Platt v. Crouch [2004] 1 P & CR 242 .  Platt purchased a hotel along the riverbed which had with it a small island in the middle of the river.   It had been used by the owners of the hotel and their guests as part of the hotel business for both fishing and mooring boats.  The issue was whether he had a right to do this and convert it into an easement under Section 62 of The Law of Property Act 1925 and whether these rights were capable of being an easement.  It was held that they were.  The rights had been enjoyed for some time by the hotel for the benefit of the business and its guests.   The rights were continuous and apparent for the purpose of Section 62 .  As such they could be recognised as an easement even though they adversely affected the servient land.

Port of London Authority v. Ashmore 2009 EWHC 954 and 2009 AER 74 .  This case in the Chancery Division in London decided that it was possible for the owner of a moored vessel (in this case since 1983) a sailing barge called “Atrato” by Battersea Bridge in a tidal area of the Thames.  The Port of London Authority wished to register the land under the river at which point Mr. Ashmore made his claim for possessory title.  It was determined that although an area of tidal water adverse possession could be obtained of the sea or riverbed or the foreshore of the footprint of the vessel where (i) the title to the sea or riverbed had not been registered and (ii) the vessel rested on the mud or the foreshore at low tide.

Port of London Authority v. Tower Bridge Yacht and Boat Company 2013 EWHC 3084 (CH) .  In a case decided in the summer of 2013.   The decision of Justice Mann involved a claim by the Port of London Authority against Tower Bridge Yacht and Boat Company as to their use and right to use a number of moorings close to Tower Bridge where from the evidence given there had been moorings at least from 1857 and possibly before that.   The Defendant had no licence for the moorings from the Authority but the Claimant claimed they did not need one.  The decision is long and clearly went through a good deal of history relevant to that particular site. The burden of proof to establish whether the mooring chains were in place in 1857 was assessed as being the Claimants.   The Judge found that the PLA failed to establish the moorings claimed by the Defendant were not present by 1857, save for three in dispute and as such was not entitled to insist on the Defendant requiring a licence for them.  There were certain moorings which the Judge felt were subject to the need for a licence and the Defendant failed in the claim that it had a franchise in respect of its moorings.  In making his decision the Judge was aware of a case being decided almost at the same time by Arnold J. in Couper Limited & Others v. Albion Property Limited .

Moore v. British Waterway Board 2013 EWCA Civ 73. In a tidal part of The Grand Union Canal Mr. Moore moored his vessels which were occupied as homes.  Although the BWB controlled the Canal it did not own the bed of the Canal but served a Statutory Notice on Mr. Moore for the removal of the vessels on the basis they were not moored with lawful authority.  Ultimately BWB lost the case because the Notice was deemed under the Regulations to be invalid but before then the Court had determined that in general a riparian owner owning the canal bank was not entitled against the true owner of the riverbed to place his vessels for an indefinite time over the riverbed if he did not own it.

Couper (1) v. Albion Property & (2) Port of London Authority 2013 EWHC 293 .  The Claimant, Couper, owned a large number of boats moored on The Thames by Battersea Bridge but the riverbed was believed to be owned by The Port of London and alongside riparian land owned by Albion.   The Claimants sought adverse possession to the riparian land with benefit also of a franchise to moor the boats on it lodging a franchise of mooring rights since before 1857.  That part of The Thames was owned by The Crown.  Although it is always, of course, in an area of control by the Port of London.   Adverse possession claimed was in issue.   Arnold DJ had a great deal of evidence over a period of weeks but felt that the Claimants were unable to establish adverse possession of the riverbed because it was vested in The Port of London Authority for the purpose of regulating public rights of navigation. R (Smith) v. Land Registry 2010 EWCA was applied.

Port of London Authority v. Medoza 2007 UK UT 146 .  This was a case dealt with by the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery) where it was heard in The Royal Courts.   The Port (P) had sought to register part of the foreshore of The Thames by Kew Bridge.   House-boat owners, including Mr. Mendoza, objected.  He had a house-boat on part of the river though it rested on the foreshore at low tide.   In January 2016 it was found by Judge Mark that he thought he had acquired a squatters title and from that the Claimant appealed.  This very case took us to the Powell v. McFarlane case and the question of adverse possession together with the case above of Port of London v. Ashmore and Moore v. British Waterway Board together with Fowler v. Gatford [1968] 2QB 618 (possession of a tidal creek by the laying of permanent moorings.  The Judge, Elizabeth Cooke, granted the Appeal deciding that PLA was entitled to its registration.  Although a house-boat owner was entitled to seek possessory title, on the facts Mr. Medoza had not succeeded in the evidence and proof required.  There was no authority to the effect that the simple mooring of a boat on a tidal river without more was sufficient for adverse possession.  The mooring of the boat was ambiguous.  Perhaps if Mr. Medoza had written notice saying something like Private Land and mooring or some tying by the riverbed to support the boat when moored might have helped.

Can we Help You?

Although the above cases were mostly around London the fact is that we still have many more moorings and boats along our foreshore within the West Country but it seems relatively clear that to prove entitlement not contained in a deed does require the same proof of intention and use as is required for a  possessory title of dry land and that is not easy.

10 interesting vessels to sail through Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is world-famous for many reasons: its iconic architecture; its location in the heart of London; and that it opens for vessels. In fact, around 800 vessels still pass through the bascules each year. 

The types of boats, barges and ships that visit continue to change, from cargo vessels and paddle steamers to pleasure cruises and royal yachts. We’ve taken a look through our archives to find some of the most interesting and iconic boats and ships that have passed through Tower Bridge and present ten of the best Bridge Lifts below.

1. The first Bridge Lift, 1894

Everyone wants to be the ‘first’ to do something: first man on the Moon (1969), first selfie (1893), first video on YouTube (2005), but what was the first vessel to pass through Tower Bridge?

Tower Bridge was officially opened on 30 June 1894 by HRH the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII from 1901-10). Huge crowds lined the Thames in giddy anticipation. As the clock turned midday, the ceremonial trumpets sounded, the Bridge was blessed and, after a two minute delay ‘during which the crowd held their breaths’, the Bascules lifted for the first time. In celebration, the guns of the Tower of London fired a Royal Salute and the ships began their approach…

First through the Bridge was the Harbour Master’s vessel Daisy . It may have been the first, but it was quickly followed by a procession of honourary vessels: the Conservator Steamer ; then the Trinity House Yacht Irene ; the gunboat HMS Landrail ; the Bismark ; and the Clacton Belle . These last three can be seen in William Lionel Wyllie’s painting ‘Opening of Tower Bridge’, pictured adjacent, which is on show at the Guildhall Art Gallery .

2. London’s own sea cruise

The British seaside getaway is an iconic part of the country’s history. Ice cream, arcades, beaches and piers; what’s not to love.

In 1932 the Royal Eagle was one of the biggest, fastest, luxury paddle steamers, ferrying passengers between London and several seaside destinations including Southend-on-sea, Ramsgate and Margate. Between 1932 and 1938, it’s estimated it carried more than three million passengers – that’s half a million passengers every summer.

The Royal Eagle   would take day trippers through Tower Bridge and along the Thames towards Ramsgate and Clacton. Guests were treated to fine dining and relaxing lounges. Passengers snooze on deck, and, as was the fashion of the day, almost everyone wore a hat.

You can still take this journey on either pleasure Steamers Waverley & Balmoral , which depart from Tower Pier. You can sail back in time aboard these wonderful historic passenger ships to the Kent and Essex coasts and to the historic Thames Forts.

3. The Royal Yacht Britannia

In the Spring of 1954, thousands of Brits flocked to the banks of the River Thames to see the Royal Yacht Britannia pass under Tower Bridge, bringing Her Majesty the Queen and her family home from a Commonwealth tour that lasted six months. It was the first to be undertaken by the Royal Yacht Britannia, which the Queen had launched herself in 1953. 

During its career as Royal Yacht, Britannia conveyed the Queen, members of the Royal Family and various dignitaries on 696 foreign visits and 272 visits in British waters. Charles and Diana, the Prince and Princess of Wales, took their honeymoon cruise on Britannia in 1981. The Royal Yacht Britannia also made a visit to the Thames at Tower Bridge to honour the Queen Mother's 90th birthday in August 1990.

On 20 October 1997 the royal yacht made its final journey passing through Tower Bridge . It was decommissioned in 1997 and is now berthed in Edinburgh, where it opened in 1998 as a star tourist attraction .

4. HMS Belfast

Light cruiser HMS Belfast passed under Tower Bridge to take its mooring in the Pool of London on 14 October 1971.

The following day, 15 October 1971, HMS Belfast was towed to its resting place and attached to two dolphins, which guide the ship during the rise and fall of the tide. 

Built by Messrs Harland & Wolff in 1936 and launched on 17 March 1938 by Anne Chamberlain, the wife of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, HMS Belfast was opened to the public six days later, on Trafalgar Day, 21 October 1971. It became part of the Imperial War Museums in 1978.

5. The bridge lift that wasn’t booked

On the morning of 15 May 2004, the STS Lord Nelson set off along the Thames towards Tower Bridge and the Pool of London, expecting the Bridge to lift. The impressive three-mast vessel, along with the SV Tenacious, were the only wheelchair accessible tall ships in the world, built so that both disabled and non-disabled people could sail as crew.

As the vessel approached Tower Bridge, they radioed ahead, as is normal procedure, but received no response. As the Nelson got closer and closer to the the Bridge, further attempts to contact were met with silence and the Bridge didn’t look like it was ready to open. Finally, through Woolwich Radio, the crew had made contact with the staff at Tower Bridge and it was ascertained that no Bridge Lift had been booked! The experienced crew set to action to turn the boat around in time… but it was too late.

Due to the current, and the proximity to other vessels the Lord Nelson struck the south pier of Tower Bridge just after 10am. Fortunately, no one was injured and there was very little damage to the ship.

A later enquiry vindicated Tower Bridge authorities, after it established that no notice for a Bridge Lift had been sent or received.

The Lord Nelson was decommissioned in 2019 but the SV Tenacious still sails today.

6. Third time's the charm

If you think hitting the Bridge once is embarrassing, spare a thought for the Spanish Cargo Ship Urquiola . On 30 January 1967 the Urquiola hit Tower Bridge for the third time in ten years (1957, 64 & 67). A police spokesman announced: ‘they are starting to make habit of it’.

The damage report, date 30/1/1967 states:

'Tower Bridge was closed to traffic for an hour and a half today (Monday) after being hit and damaged by a Spanish cargo vessel. The 7,000 tom 'Monte Urquiola' swung broadside into the bridge as it was being towed to the Pool of London. It smashed into the north east buttress sending blocks of masonry tumbling into the river.'

The Monte Urquiola (1949-74) was one of four ships operating for the Aznar Line until Autumn 1974, and was a frequent guest in the Pool in London. The Aznar Line operated a large share of the Canary Islands fruit and vegetable market to Britain, sailing to both London and Liverpool. 

The Monte Urquiola was renamed In 1974 and decommissioned in 1977.

7. London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony

In the Summer of 2012, Olympic fever struck London. For just over two weeks, athletes came from all over the world to compete in the world’s greatest sporting event. London 2012’s opening ceremony, arguably the best yet, showcased the British spirit to the world and some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. 

An estimated 900 million people watched David Beckham driving the speedboat Max Power , carrying Torchbearer Jade Bailey and the flame on its penultimate stretch along the Thames. As the speed boat powered towards the Bridge, the Bascules raised and fireworks flew from the high-level Walkways. A curtain of sparks fell from the Bascules as the boat continued on its way to the Olympic Stadium - one of the defining images of the London 2012 Games.

The speedboat was a Bladerunner BR RIB 35 called 'Max Power' and fitted with two Mercury Verado V6 engines providing a maximum speed of 65 knots (75mph). It is reported to have been sold for £250,000 after the opening ceremony.

8. Cruise Ships in Central London

It’s not everyday you expect to see a cruise ship entering central London, but since 2013, the city has attracted no less than 30 cruise ships a year: the Hamburg , Le Boreal , Silver Cloud and Silver Wind and many others have passed under Tower Bridge. 

These mammoth vessels are much larger than the ships that originally passed through in 1894, but ships like the enormous Silver Cloud, at 157m long, still manage to squeeze through carrying up to 300 passengers and a crew of 222.

You can get a spectacular view of the ship passing under Tower Bridge through the Glass Floor . They are so tall, sometimes it seems you can almost touch them.

9. JS Kashima

Japanese ship Kashima  (TV-3508) passed under Tower Bridge in the morning of 22 June 2022. The training vessel made its way upstream the Thames and berthed near the Tower of London, where it stayed until 25 June. It then sailed downstream, crossing our bascules once more on its way back to the sea.

The Kashima came to London, while JS Shimakaze was called at Portsmouth, to promote ‘friendship and goodwill’ between the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF) and the Royal Navy. On 28 June 2022, the ships conducted a bilateral exercise with HMS Severn in the English Channel.

The visit of the Kashima and the Shimakaze to England echoed a stopover to Japan by Royal Navy’s Carrier Strike Group in 2021, and it marked the 120th anniversary of the Japan-UK alliance.

The Kashima visited London and passed under Tower Bridge once before, on 31 July 2016.

10. Götheborg of Sweden

The  Götheborg of Sweden , one of the world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing vessels, passed through Tower Bridge’s bascules up and down the river on 8 August 2022.

The ship moored in Canary Wharf until 12 August as part of a two-year-long expedition from Stockholm to Shanghai. The Götheborg is a replica of an 18th-century ship that sank off the coast of Sweden in September 1745 and that it was owned by the Swedish East India Company.

The Götheborg first visited in London in 2007, when it fired its cannon in salute, with HMS Belfast’s guns firing in return.

Since 1894, Tower Bridge has opened hundreds of thousands of times and it will lift for more extraordinary vessels in the years to come.

Tower Bridge launch for new Oyster 565 bluewater cruiser

The new £1.3m oyster 565 has been revealed to the world at an event in london, with an eye-catching photo opportunity as the yacht sailed under tower bridge..

Based on feedback from Oyster owners, the latest range has better storage, larger berths and more headroom than ever before. The new generation has moulded-in bowsprits for easier flying of downwind and reaching sails; twin rudders for better handling under sail and less drag; and flush decks. We’re told they also offer better stability, thanks to a 10 per cent deeper keel and lighter hull weight.

Sneaking in below the psychologically important 60ft (18.2m) LOA mark, the two 565 is designed to appeal to sailing families with bluewater plans. Configuration options include a novelty for Oyster: the master cabin up in the fo’c’s’le and the aft cabin split into two, with a dinghy garage down the middle.

HTML VERSION OF JUDGMENT

Introduction and geography

This case concerns the nature and extent of mooring rights on the Thames in an area known as Downings Roads. A short distance downstream from Tower Bridge, on the south bank, one finds St Saviour's dock, now a small inlet with a road at one end, the Thames at the other and lined by old buildings. A bridge crosses its mouth (designed, as it happens, by Mr Lacey, the man behind the defendant company). Immediately downstream of that entrance one finds a collection of substantial barges (currently 29 in number, but it can vary by one or two) which are lived on by a significant number of people (more than 100). They are moored a few yards offshore, but connected to the land by a pontoon or walkway coming from what is said to be a public passageway called Mill Stairs. Most of the barges are residential (houses on the water), but there are communal barges which provide shared facilities including semi-permanent "collar barges" to which the residential barges are directly or indirectly fixed, and one called the "Arts Ark", which holds a grand piano (apparently stored, wrapped up, in the open air, somewhat remarkably) and on which concerts and other events are also held. Some of the barges have substantial gardens on them — not just small plants, but some substantial shrubs and small trees. Another barge stores "black water" and one provides bicycle storage. The collar barges are owned by the defendant ("TBY"). The other barges are owned by individuals and they have licences from TBY which entitle them to moor at the moorings. As well as providing a site for moorings, TBY also provides facilities such as electricity, and arranges for waste removal. The barges now constitute a significant community of people living on the water in central London.

A large number of aspects of this dispute can only be understood by frequent reference to plans, both current and historic. The present physical arrangement can be best seen from the plan in Appendix 1 . On that can be seen the various fixed barges and the pontoon/walkway arrangement. On the land side the pontoon leads from a passageway to "Mill Stairs". Those stairs were, until their removal, steps leading down to the river at a point at which ferrymen could be engaged to carry people across the Thames or to another destination along the Thames. There used to be a significant company of such watermen providing such services there. The steps down have long since disappeared, as has a stone walkway on the river bed which, at low tide, enabled customers to reach the boats. The pontoon now goes from what would have been the top of the stairs, accessed through a passageway (technically probably still a highway) through a building known as Reeds Wharf, owned by Mr Lacey. From there a visitor crosses a stretch of planking on to a permanently moored collar barge, then over another "bridge" of planking and on to one of several more collar barges. A collar barge is one which is permanently moored and to which other boats can, in turn, be moored. The arrangement in the current community is that there are some 8 collar (or otherwise permanent) barges permanently moored and the residential barges are each attached to those collar barges or moored to each other with the innermost barge being moored to the collar barges. The "Areas for berths" can be seen on Appendix 1 ; the actual arrangement of the residential barges can be seen on the photograph at Appendix 7 .

The moorings of the collar barges (but not the residential barges) take the form of some form of fixing mechanism in the bed of the river (a "mooring root"), or in two cases to rings fixed to a wall on the land, to which heavy chains are attached. Those chains are then attached to the collar barges. It is moorings such as those which are the subject of this action. Mr Lacey, on behalf of the defendant company, claims to have the benefit of 25 such roots, though he currently uses only 10, and he claims that they are "ancient moorings", by which he means moorings which have been there since before 1857 (the significance of that date will become apparent). If he is right about that then he does not need a licence to have the moorings; there is a dispute as to his entitlement to replace them though. If and insofar as they date from a date after 1857 he claims to be entitled to them through estoppel or limitation. All but one of the roots are above the waterline at low water. At low water many of the barges rest on the bed of the river.

The claimant ("the PLA"), is the authority in whom the bed of the river is vested, and claims that the defendant company has no such entitlement. It says that the laying and maintenance of any such moorings requires a licence, which the defendant does not have. It accepts that any moorings which pre-date 1857 do not, as such, have to be licensed, but it disputes the factual assertion that the moorings pre-date 1857 and disputes the estoppel and limitation claims. There are about 23 to 25 roots which come into the historical picture, but at the trial the PLA confined its claim for a declaration to 10 roots on which work was actually done.

The case therefore primarily involves a determination of whether or not the defendant requires a licence. At the outset of the trial Mr Charles Harpum, who appeared for the PLA, made it clear that if it wins the PLA will not be requiring the removal of the barges. It will merely require a licence, through which it would be able, so far as necessary and appropriate, to control the moorings.

These proceedings take the form of a claim by the PLA to declaratory relief as to the nature of the rights, if any, of the defendant in relation to the moorings, which is said to require declarations as to the "true meaning and effect" of a key piece of legislation. There is also a claim for damages for trespass with an alternative claim for payment of all sums received by the defendant for authorising the mooring of vessels at the moorings. There was no material reference at the trial to the financial aspects of the claim, which will have to be dealt with later, so far as relevant, though by the same token there was no express abandonment of them. I shall not say anything about them in this judgment. The defendant counterclaims for a declaration that it is entitled to use all 23 moorings, a declaration that it is entitled to registered as proprietor of the moorings at HM Land Registry and that it is entitled to use the moorings as a right appurtenant to its title to an adjacent passageway called Mill Stairs. This last point no longer arises in the litigation.

The form of the pleadings is said to justify and require a further inquiry beyond that which turns on the existence or otherwise of these moorings in 1857, namely what the nature of the defendant's right to moor (if any) is. By the end of the trial the defendant was arguing for rights under a franchise, and rights under the Limitation Acts. These are points that I deal with relatively shortly at the end of this judgment.

I add one last introductory point. It is clear that what is now concerning the PLA in practical terms is not so much the actual presence, whereabouts and status of all the individual moorings. It is the overall use, and particularly the physical extent (footprint), of the moorings. That particular concern is, however, not directly in issue in these proceedings. It is the status of the moorings (which enables the extent) which is.

Mr Charles Harpum appeared for the PLA; Mr David Holland QC appeared for the defendant. Before the hearing started I had two views of the site of the dispute, one at low tide and one at high tide. Those views (and particularly the former) were of great assistance in understanding the surroundings and the case.

Some terminology, concepts and engineering

In order to understand some of the history and some of the evidence it will be useful to have the meaning of some important expressions and concepts established at this stage. The following points are drawn from the evidence of various witness who gave evidence before me.

(a) "Mooring root". As explained above, this is something that is placed in the bed of the river to which a mooring chain can be attached. Historically they might have been of wood or stone. Some of the wooden ones were very substantial because they had to be capable of holding large sea-going vessels. Some of them would be anchors — single fluke anchors, usually, because one would not want the upper fluke projecting from the river bed, particularly if boats grounded at low tide. In more modern times concrete has been used, as have engine blocks. In yet more modern times a screwed root would be deployed, but that requires more specialist equipment, and on the Thames such roots are only deployed by the PLA which has the specialist equipment. A mooring in the ground is called a "ground mooring" (appropriately enough). (b) "Bridle chains" or "bridles". A boat may be moored directly to a chain emanating from a root, or it may be attached to another, perhaps lesser, chain, which is itself attached to a main mooring chain. These other chains are called "bridle chains". (c) "Breasting chains". These are chains which are arranged so as to prevent lateral, as opposed to fore and aft, movement. (d) "Ebb ...

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

House boat with stunning views of Tower Bridge on sale for £875,000

Share this with

If the price tag for your property is nearing the million mark, you might hope it would at least be on solid ground… but this house boat hopes its stunning views of the city makes up for that.

The 60-year-old four-cabin English barge boasts incredible views of Tower Bridge in trendy east London – and it is up for sale for £875,000.

The boat is nearly 2,000 sq ft, and is one of the few surviving and fully operational Medway Coasters left in the UK and has a permanent mooring in Wapping (which doesn’t come cheap).

The barge, named ‘Rock’, was built in 1961 from British steel from a former wheat cargo vessel.

With an overall length of 92ft and width of 21ft, the barge is described as a ‘spacious and comfortable home’ in a unique position close to the heart of the City of London. And for that price tag, you would hope so.

Inside you’ll find seven berths (which is the sleeping quarters on a boat) in four cabins. One cabin has an en-suite toilet and washbasin. There’s also an impressive wheelhouse, an upper studio office with wood burner and a large saloon with open plan galley and dining area for eight, bathroom/utility room.

And good news if you’re tall, there is standing headroom throughout the boat, so you won’t spend half your time stooping through doorways.

• Banksy’s newest work has been ruined after just two days
• The London tourist attractions that have seen the biggest price hikes revealed

To get the latest news from the capital visit Metro.co.uk's London news hub .

The boat also has a huge dry storage area and and a big open front deck area with sensational views of Tower Bridge – perfect for hosting.

Anne Lydiat Wainwright, the current owner, said of the barge: ‘When you buy a boat like “Rock”, you’re taking on a piece of British maritime history, a very different kind of lifestyle and possibly one of the best and most iconic views of London from the River Thames.’

Anne bought the vessel in 2002 with her late husband Chris Wainwright.

In 2003, Rock was given a full refit, with the bottom of the boat re-plated, a one metre steel skirt was added up above the waterline and bilge keels added to give greater stability in water.

All portholes and rooflights were replaced and a new steel roof was put on the lower saloon.

The mooring fee for the boat is £511 a month and the boat is for sale with the Unique Property Company at £875,000.
