Engineer's Wharf

Kevin wondered yesterday if there were any boats using the marina by the recent Taylor Woodrow development on the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union. He's talking about Engineer's Wharf, near Northolt. Here's a link to BW's blurb about it.

A modern urban village provides the setting for a brand new basin on

the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal at Northolt in west

London. British Waterways has worked alongside Taylor Woodrow’s

Bryant Homes to develop the basin, known as Engineer’s Wharf, and

has created 20 new narrowboat moorings which we are now able to

offer boaters in the London area.

This is what it looked like when I passed in September last year.

I didn't know there was a "Grand Union Village", did you?

Engineer’s Wharf benefits from the proximity
of facilities in Grand Union Village including
shops, a nursery and community space.
‘Home Zones’ create safe residents’ areas and
the development boasts over 20 acres of
public open space, playing fields and children’s
play areas.

And here are the (2007) prices from the same Waterscape site:

Annual mooring prices
from 1 April 2007
Residential berths £5,250
Non-residential berths £4,000
All prices are inclusive of VAT

£4k for a non-residential mooring sounds pricey to me.
