We loved our 5 nights on this beautifully appointed narrow boat in such an idyllic location right in the centre of London. oddly enough we had many of the same furnishings at home, so obviously Meg has great taste. She also gave us a good run down at the start on everything we needed to know about life on a narrow boat, and was generally really helpful. We had no trouble at all even it was our first time, though I think because we had a hook up to electricity things were a bit simpler than they'd be otherwise. The shower was surprisingly good with water at just the right temperature. And generally, the boat was really well equipped for just about everything you'd feel the need for doing. Things we discovered in the area - there is a Sainsbury's along the canal towards Paddington a couple of minute's walk. The Ham & City etc. line at Paddington is just about as near as Warwick Avenue tube. Kateh in Warwick Place is an excellent Persian restaurant, full of Persian people most nights, so book if you want to eat there. Trendy Nottinghill Gate is only 20 mins walk away unless you get lost.
