“We had breakfast every morning on the top deck with pastries from the local shop." That's what a guest had to say about our Dutch barge at St Katharine Docks. Built in 1916 and moored beside Tower Bridge, with the whole boat and the sun deck yours. At night, settle in by the wood-burning stove in the saloon. A queen cabin, an aft cabin that sleeps three, and a sofa bed sleep up to six. It's about a quarter mile to Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and Tower Hill Underground. Our barge is a 1916 Dutch build, converted for stays and moored in the secure, sheltered marina at St Katharine Docks. Guests are often surprised by the room on board, with more space than a hotel and the whole boat to themselves.

The main cabin has a queen bed, and the aft cabin has two single beds with a small berth between them that suits a young child. In between is the saloon, with a sofa, a wood-burning stove, and a TV, opening to a compact galley with a breakfast bar.
