Entire Boat at St Katherine Docks 2 Available select using room options, hotel in London

Entire Boat at St Katherine Docks 2 Available select using room options enjoys a location in London, a 16-minute walk from London Bridge Tube Station and 1.7 miles from London Bridge.

Privacy, 2 bedrooms. Area was great. Kitchen, fridge convenient for breakfast, deck for afternoon wine and cheese. Have stayed in various areas of London, but this felt very different. Very scenic with views of the Tower Bridge, Tower of London, and skyline, especially at night. Easy access to Tube and many restaurants.

Boutique Barges, hotel in London

Just a 8-minute walk from Paddington Station and 0.9 miles from Lord's Cricket Ground, Boutique Barges features accommodations in London with a terrace.

Gorgeous barge. Easy friendly warm welcome. Spacious. Full kitchen. London-themed Monopoly and other games. Rooftop seating. Perfect canal water view. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, and subway as well as to the stop for canal boat trips to Camden. The sounds of the city were largely muffled and replaced by waterfowl swimming by and relatively quiet passersby. Well worth paying a little more for so much more exclusivity.

Historic Dutch Barge, Idyllic location, hotel in London

Historic Dutch Barge, Idyllic location is located in London, just 1.2 miles from Brick Lane and 1.7 miles from St Paul's Cathedral. This boat provides accommodations with a terrace.

Very comfortable, unique, and way nicer than the comparably priced apartments! Area was quiet at night and we had zero issues with temperature. Note there are short steep ladderlike steps to access most of the boat (no issues for us). Twin room is on the opposite side of the double room. Would definitely stay again!

    The room was lovely, very clean, definitely would stay again, it was really great value for money, kitchen was equipped well, although it could do with a couple more forks (but that is a very minor thing) definitely will recommend. Lovely place to stay, only 30 min canal walk away from Camden Market. Me and my daughter really enjoyed a walk down by the canal, 5 minutes walk away from the room, to see the house boats that were moored there. Overall felt very safe and cosy. 10/10

    Fabulous! We had a lovely time on this, yacht in the marina, Mark met us at the gate and showed us around the boat. He's very friendly and helpful and the boat was very well kept. It's in a great location, lots of bars and restaurants very close by and Tower Bridge is just a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended!

    The houseboat has been renovated incredibly well and has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The facilities inside the boat were perfect so that you could really settle in as if it was home. Everything was super clean, the bed was perfect and the person who greeted us was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

    Fantastically novel stay in central London. We are used to living on boats, yachts etc, and therefore found the nautical quirks of this converted fishing trawler to be normal. The space of both the two bedrooms and the lounge area made it so much better than any reasonably priced hotel could provide, and a perfect place to relax between visiting what London offers.. The location close to Battersea Power Station, and tube and river connections made it very easy to get to and from.

    Location was great! There was a free hotel boat over to Canary Wharf which you could then hop onto the Uber boats from and go pretty much anywhere in 20 minutes! Complimentary warm cookies on arrival was a nice touch. Room was air conditioned on arrival which was great in the heat. Clean room with a lovely bathroom. Nice and modern. Very comfortable stay. Even parking was easy and car park was never really full.
