We had the wonderful opportunity to stay with Paul & Jon during the holidays specifically New Years time and we loved every second of it (the views were spectacular!) Paul found us in the street (my GPS didn't explicitly direct us to the dock area) and welcomed us with some mince pies/coffee-tea/ and some other baked goods to start our day. The boat is really quite spacious with everything you could need (far more than a hotel room) to be able to explore London. Just a short walk to the tube to really get you anywhere you need to go, but in a quiet part of the city so that you are gently rocked to sleep by the boat . The afternoons can be a bit choppy, but likely won't be spending much time there anywho if you are exploring- or theres plenty of nearby pubs/restaurants to stop by if you would need it. Paul & Jon were gracious hosts and had us in their cabin for drinks and were able to chat as if we were old acquaintances. We really hope we can come back one day as this far surpassed our expectations.
