Lovely Canal Boat in Little Venice for Family & Friends

Why not experience a bit of UK boating culture whilst enjoying London's top landmarks - right in the city centre?

Our cosy canal boat comfortably sleeps 4 adults on 2 double beds. The kitchen, bathroom & decks have everything you need - & ask us about early check-in & a 1-hour private tour right on your boat.

Located along the Grand Union waterway in central London we're only 20-30 mins to the city's most famous sites - so come enjoy a unique experience & lovely sleep on your canal boat!

The Space:
Our canal boat is ideal for a couple, family or group of friends visiting London to see its most famous landmarks. It offers a bright open-plan kitchen and lounge, full bathroom, cosy double bedroom and extra double-bed to comfortably sleep 4 adults.

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

The boat moors on the Grand Union canal near Little Venice and the short route to her exact Google PIN location along the easy-to-access towpath will be provided after booking.

And if the weather plays its part, we might be able to provide a 1 hour private tour via the bird sanctuary island, narrowboat village, Regent's Park, London Zoo into Camden market.

The eco-centric canal boat runs on solar power with brand new energy-efficient powerbanks available for full electricity to charge all your phones, laptops and bright LED lights throughout the boat.

We think you'll find staying on our canal boat a more interesting and unusual experience than a standard hotel room or apartment - our boat has what you need for a memorable break in central London!
During your stay at this houseboat, you're just a quick walk from Queensway.
  • Just a 5-minute drive from Hyde Park and a few minutes from Kensington Gardens

We booked to stay on this canal boat in London. When we arrived at the property we had to climb across another boat to get to the boat we rented. This was never mentioned in the listing and is very unsafe. Had we known this up front we would have never booked the property. There were also very steep stairs in to the property with no handrail, which was also not mentioned in the listing. Overall the conditions made us feel very unsafe and we decided that we could not stay at this property.

What a lovely “out of the box” experience for us Canadians. Slowly rocked to sleep under such a cozy comforter. Every neighbour we met with so friendly in the area. Lovely pub nearby. Highly recommend this boat and the experience with the owners. Thank you so much and we will back
