Both houseboats are beautifully conceived to feel cozy without being cluttered. You may be on a boat, but apart from the fact that you’re eye to eye with passing ducks, everything feels as it would be on terra firma. As you board, look around and you’ll find gorgeous reclaimed wooden furniture, including a dining table and desk, plus a sofa and a wood-burner for the colder months. The houseboats are moored on a quiet stretch of Regent’s Canal as it cuts through Hoxton in East London.
