I occasionally visit London Gateway for work. I guessed that the bloke I saw wandering round the port entrance past the no pedestrians sign some months back was doing the Veloviewer thing.
Walking round inside the port is heavily restricted and there is CCTV on the high mast lights. Security is pretty tight, even with an authorised entry permit.
If you want to do the kayak thing, you will need to know what you are doing. Tidal range is high, the current is strong and the port has lots of vessel and tug movements. Kayaking near the ‘oil refinery’ at slack tide might be ok but doubtful otherwise. Small vessels close to the Shell jetty/ tank farm without a permit might provoke an unexpectedly strong reaction, given how the government is treating XR protestors currently.
