About this docked boat rental
Why not experience a bit of UK boating culture whilst enjoying London's top landmarks - right in the city centre?
Your canal boat sleeps 4 adults in its super-king bed & double-bed sofa. 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 the city's most famous landmarks.
The canal boat offers a bright open-plan kitchen and lounge, full bathroom, spacious 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 towpath pedestrians or ducks feeding in the canal.
The boat moors on the Grand Union canal near Little Venice and the short route to her exact 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.
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.
The eco-centric canal boat runs on solar power with new energy efficient powerbanks are available for electricity and to charge all your phones, laptops and LED lights throughout the boat.
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.

What a joy it was to stay on the Princess Lucy. I booked her because I was doing research for a novel. But Little Venice is such a lovely area, and the boat was a delight. I spent several evenings picnicking on the bow with visiting friends, and just sitting out to read until late. 10/10 would book again.

Our stay on the narrow boat was so unique - a perfect way to end our travels and easy to get to Heathrow from nearby paddington station. We stayed comfortably as a family of four for one night - it was certainly a bit crowded with all of our luggage but that was to be expected with four people and suitcases we brought for a longer trip. The boat was docked in a safe and cool neighborhood- we went out to dinner and breakfast locally and there were great nearby options. Would definitely stay again!

We had a peaceful, lovely stay. Little Venice is an easy walk from Paddington Station, while also being a world in itself. The boat is cozy with a nice seating area near the entrance, a very workable kitchen, and room outside for two or three to enjoy drinks or a meal. It is a treat to see swans and other water birds out the windows. Rather than run the engine for hot water, we used the stove to warm up water for personal hygiene. The host left wood for heat, but we didn't need it. The battery-powered lamps gave plenty of light. I hope to stay aboard the Princess Lucy again on my next visit to London. Thank you!

It is a canal boat on a canal in the center of London. The description is accurate, and you certainly can't beat the location, or the accomodation if you are looking for something really quite different. The boats are parked side-by-side, close together and walking up and down the canal is fun and you can get to all parts of London very easily. The accomodation is small and very basic, and not for everyone, but as they say "it does what it says on the tin".
