There was a recent cruise to Southend where they moored on the pier. Search for Southend and you'll find several threads like
this one!
Medway's an easy cruise away, and is an interesting cruising ground in its own right. There are several RIBnetters around that way who would doubtless show you the sights.
Thames to the Solent is absolutely feasible. You could do it in a day, but it would be quite hard work. Two to three days would make it easy.
There's petrol on the quayside at Ramsgate (last time I checked anyway) and at Brighton. Dover is an interesting place to stop and other options include Eastbourne, Newhaven and Littlehampton.
Get the charts out and start planning!
