Lovely Historical Canal Boat in London City Centre

Our canal boat is ideal for a couple, family or group of friends visiting London to see the city's most famous landmarks.

The canal boat offers a bright open-plan kitchen and lounge, full bathroom, spacious bedroom, double bed sofa and cot to sleep up to 4 adults and small child.

The boat's stern has a comfortable deck allowing for early sunrise breakfasts or relaxing dinners under the stars - or lets guests have a relaxing cup of tea whilst watching towpath pedestrians or ducks feeding in the canal.

Full of historical character, the boat was recently carefully renovated to retain original period features including the oak wood, brass fixtures and ceramic tiling - notably in the kitchen and bathroom.

This canal boat was originally built in Sheffield but spent many of years of service in the branches of the Oxford canal before making its way down to central London.

A few considerations for your (more eco-conscious) stay on a canal boat:

1. Constant cruising - The canal boat moors on Grand Union canal and the route to her exact location along the easy-to-access towpath will be provided after booking
   
   
2. Traditional burning stove - for cool London evenings we offer wood or coal to keep you cosy in the boat or you can use our energy-efficient ethanol heater
   
   
3. Power Bank accelerator - the canal boat runs on solar power so excellent power banks are on standby to help charge phones, laptops and an energy-efficient refrigerator. Note like most canal boats ours was not originally designed to run hair dryers, irons and other electricity-hungry appliances and devices.
   
   
4. Recycling - a standard easy-to-use waste unit found in most moving recreational vehicles won’t compromise your comfort during your stay

You may find staying on our canal boat a more interesting and unusual experience than your standard hotel or apartment - and our boat has what you need for a memorable break in central London.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the whole canal boat. Although the boat is moored for the duration of your stay, we might be able to offer a short tour down the famous Grand Union canal depending on host availability.
