About Us
Hermitage Community Moorings (HCM) is a co-operative which owns and operates a mooring on the Thames at Hermitage Wharf, Wapping.
The mooring provides berths for up to 20 vessels: enabling a mixture of live-aboard, recreational and visitor use. HCM provides well-managed river access for local people, including educational and recreational facilities.
The infrastructure is designed to create a small, close-knit community of people committed to boat use and the preservation of historic craft.
Part of our ambition is to ensure traditional river craft (e.g. sailing barges, tugs and motor craft) remain part of the Wapping landscape for future generations – and to create a local landmark that promotes Wapping’s historic links with the river.
HCM is grateful for the support of the following organisations:
Heritage Afloat The Museum of London The Pool of London Partnerships St. Peter’s London Docks CE Primary The Port of London Authority Bigland Green Primary School The Environment Agency Westminster Petroleum as well as support from numerous individuals, including more than 1000 local Wapping residents, and many owners of significant historical vessels.
Hermitage River Projects
