One of the loveliest experiences we have had in all our traveling (and we do a lot). On the Velvet Morning you get to see London from a totally different perspective. It is truly a hidden gem
The boat is beautiful, extremely well maintained, very, comfortable… all the accommodations of home but on a boat. If you have done any self-boating this will be easy for you. Everything is within hands reach so you can really just enjoy. If you haven’t done any boating, starting this way will spoil you! There is space to stow your bags, laundry, lots of maps and guides, and all the kitchenware you need right on the boat.
Our parking location was very much off the tourist path but within walking distance of all of what London provides. Great restaurants, shops, and public transport were close by. The neighboboring boats looked out for us.
To top it off Sam is a fantastical host, always available providing you all the information you may require. If anything happens, (and I anything), Sam is very quick to get back to you to help sort it out.
At the end of the day, the question is whether you would go back, and that is definitely, “YES” for us! I highly recommend the experience
