About this property

Stunning houseboat on private mooring in Central London

A private, green and peaceful retreat on the waterway, hidden away in Central London with easy access public transport. A BBQ, hammock and a little rowboat are available in good weather.
We aim to provide everything to make your stay original, cosy and relaxing. This is a comfortable, secluded retreat on the canal, with easy access to the city's lively neighbourhoods. We offer complete privacy with a locked gatehouse, no overlooking boats and no public access to the mooring: it's an oasis of nature, luminosity and calm right in the heart of the city.
With shops, restaurants and local transport close by at Kings Cross and Islington, this fully-equipped widebeam houseboat has everything you'll need to discover life on the water and enjoy an original stay in London!

Unique experience
We enjoyed our stay on the canal boat. Simon and Sarah were easy to communicate with and were very accommodating when we needed something. The proximity of the boat was within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants, shops, bus stops, and the Kings Cross/St. Pancras train stations. We felt safe in the neighborhood. If given the chance again, we would definitely stay there.

Houseboat in Central London - What an Experience
Living on a houseboat is an experience in itself, but to also combine it with being in Central London - FANTASTIC. The owners are fantastic. All communication accurate and complete. They were also very supportive in showing us all the ins and outs of living on a houseboat. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 3. Spacious and comfortable. All amenities typical of an hotel stay were supplied and more! Additional kitchen and food supplies were provided, which is great for that first day there, not knowing the area and grocery stores. The location is quiet and secure, yet just a 10-15 minutes walk to Kings Cross. Great Location

London Oasis
Our family loved our stay. Such a gem. The home/boat is so close to everything, yet the private mooring with all the trees and vegetation makes you forget your in the city. Loved sitting in the wheel house with our morning coffee watching the city come to life across the canal. Or rest with wine after a busy day. We adored the eclectic and quirky feel of the well lived in and much loved boat. Keep in mind that this is a self contained riverboat and if you’re looking for 5 star Ritz accommodations, this might not be for you. But if you’re looking for a unique experience, comfortable and spacious accommodations provided by lovely down to earth hosts, then I would highly recommend. The 10 min walk along the tow path to Kings cross station was such a great way to start a day of exploring the sites of London. I can’t stress enough how much we loved listening to the birds and rustle of the leaves while watching the activity across the canal and knowing this peaceful oasis was just minutes from everything we needed. Thank you, Sarah and Simon, for sharing your home with us.
