About this property
Beautiful Widebeam Boat - London
The beauty of canal boat life with the space and practicality of a 2 bedroom apartment. Enjoy an escape on a unique boat, surrounded by all that London has to offer!
At the bow is the wood panelled master, double bedroom in a cosy nook. Next is the bathroom with shower. Then the office which doubles as a fold out single bed bedroom and lastly the open plan Living room with sofa bed, projector, dining table and kitchen! Out on deck is a seating area for when the sun is out!
The boat changes location from time to time but will be static during the length of your stay. Do check with me on the location during your dates
Living off grid offers freedom but it also means a different life to bricks and mortar. Electricity is from solar panels and so is unlimited by day but not at night. Water, gas, diesel, and coal for the winter are all filled roughly once a month. There is an eco, composting toilet; most reliable system on the canal network :)
Look forward to welcoming you aboard!

About the area
London
City of Westminster, a neighbourhood in London, is home to this houseboat. Kensington High Street and Oxford Street are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Check out an event or a game at Royal Albert Hall, and consider making time for Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, a top attraction not to be missed.
