WOW!!!! What an amazing property, managed by amazing people. Having had a hectic journey into London, Boathouse did everything possible to keep my check-in experience smooth. The decor, cleanliness, and size of the space were impeccable. I genuinely could not have asked for anything better, and I cannot wait to book this luxurious getaway again.

Unique property to stay in in London in a good location. Surprisingly quiet overnight because the whole quayside is locked and private overnight. Great experience
