We stayed on Meg's lovely boat Jessie from the 13th through the 17th of May, when it was quite wet and cold in London. My husband and my two children and I (aged 6 and 10) thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even though we had a few mishaps along the way! Our kids loved coming back to the boat after our long London adventures every day, and getting up to light the wood stove every morning and evening. Meg was extremely gracious - we had a few issues with stove and toilet which were attended to immediately by Meg, and in the end in no way dampened our experience. I will say that this is an extremely unique, fun way of visiting London, and requires a bit of work and a spirit of adventure on the part of the renters, but we loved the area, the boat, and the amenities provided by Meg. (She left some breakfast goodies, milk, and tea and coffee on the boat for our use). My only regret is that our first UK stop was London, and as a result we were all terribly jetlagged for our London stay. Next time we will make it at the end of our visit so we can enjoy the experience without being so tired.
Thank you, Meg, for such an incredible time on your boat.
