We booked as part of a birthday celebration and my husband requested a hotel with a river view. What could be better than a room with a river view than being on the River Thames with exceptional views along to Tower Bridge.
We drank champagne on the foredeck and had breakfast in the historic wheelhouse making most of the fantastic views. The barge is a lovely cosy space and feels like a haven from the bustle of London after busy days sightseeing.
As narrowboat owners ourselves we appreciated the history of the barge and the other vessels in the community. We really enjoyed the experience of staying on Maxime on the River Thames.
Our family joined us for drinks and were made most welcome by Paul and John who were great hosts. The location is ideal with a short walk to pubs, transport and supplies from a nearby Waitrose. This would be our first choice for future visits to London.
Many thanks to Paul and John for being fantastic hosts and making our stay so memorable.
