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!

Wonderful stay and unique experience
We loved our stay on the houseboat, the host is great with communication and met us to explain everything about the houseboat. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay and we enjoyed seeing the swans and ducks swimming by each day. Hope to come back again soon.

Quiet London
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on Alex's boat. We were conveniently docked feet from a small cafe and multiple public transit options. We traveled and did busy tourist things during the day and came back to have some quiet time by the fire and decompress from the day. We even had a visit from a fox friend one evening! Loved our time in London and particularly the special moments on this houseboat!

Fun Off Grid Experience
I’ve always wanted to try living on a boat and this was the perfect way to get a taste! The boat is wonderfully kept and Alex was very communicative in helping me get adjusted to the amenities. I loved walking along the river each morning. If you’re looking for an adventurous yet cozy stay, look no further!

Perfect stay!
We loved our stay on the houseboat for a four-day family visit to London. Everything was just as described and Alex was so quick to reply to all of my inquiries. He offered suggestions for the area and gave a thorough, but easy, description of how to manage (and get the most out of) the boat. Can't thank him enough!
