We really enjoyed our stay with Hanna and Jonny - a great and interesting couple! The location on the Regent's canal was super convenient - a straight train in from Gatwick to St Pancras and then a short walk to the boat. Lots of interesting but non-touristy places nearby and along the canal - the King's Place for one - a lot happening there complete with a hidden restaurant on the canal. Staying on the boat was fine - a lot more interesting than a "vanilla Hilton", and just great sitting out on the deck first thing in the morning with breakfast coffee and the toast and eggs we'd cooked up. All in all a special experience for sure. Next time in London, we'll be back!
