I stayed on Meg's boat between Boxing Day and New Year's, and it was wonderful. She was very welcoming from the start, and provided us with all the information we needed to run the boat during our stay. She even offered to leave a hair dryer when I told her I had forgotten mine! During the week, which was fairly cold, she also generously stopped by a few times to add more coal to the fire. Meg was a wonderful host, and I highly recommend staying on her boat if you are in London.
