The houseboat is amazing! It was super clean and in such a great location. Don't worry about feeling too exposed with the buildings around. They are mostly offices and restaurants. It feels like such a retreat from the city while still being in the city. We were able to wake up and have tea on the deck before seeing the sites and then come back for drinks while looking at the buildings and boats lit up in the harbor. We walked to the Tower Bridge which was only a few minutes away to see it at night. So beautiful with all of the lights.
When we return to London will definitely stay here again!
