Bright & Modern Kew Bridge Houseboat | Boat Rental in London
1 Bedroom Boat Rental in London Borough of Hounslow, London
Step aboard this unique riverboat stay in the Kew Bridge area and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience on the water. Unlike a traditional flat or house, life on the river flows with the tides and offers a special perspective, blending comfort with the gentle rhythm of river living.
The boat features one cosy bedroom with a comfortable double bed, perfect for two guests, and a bathroom fitted with a shower. Everything is on one level, making it an easy space to move around and settle into.
The heart of the boat is the inviting living area, complete with a sofa for relaxing. The kitchen is equipped with essential appliances, including an induction hob, and a dining space at the kitchen bar where you can enjoy meals together. At the rear, just outside the bedroom, you’ll find a private terrace — an ideal spot to sip a drink while watching the water and soaking up the atmosphere of the river.
⚓ Please note: Staying on a riverboat is a unique riverside experience, very different from hotels or traditional apartments. The charm lies in its closeness to nature and the water — which can sometimes mean a little mud along the riverbanks. We recommend bringing suitable footwear, and we’ll provide a couple of pairs of wellies in case you get caught out by the tide and so you can step aboard and embrace the adventure in comfort! 🌿🐟
🚫 Accessibility: Please be aware that the boats are not suitable for those with impaired mobility. Access involves steep ramps and stairs to get onboard, which may be challenging for some guests.
DISCLAIMER: Free Parking with Height Restriction: Max head room is 1.9m
Make yourself at home! You'll have full access to the entire 1 bed boat, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We've provided fresh linen, cosy bed sheets, and luxurious toiletries for your convenience. If you have any questions or need recommendations, feel free to reach out.
Our Teams are here to help all our guests in a polite and professional manner & provide a top notch Guest experience!
Staying on a houseboat overlooking the historic Kew Bridge in Brentford means embracing a distinctive lifestyle, shaped by the surrounding riverbanks and wildlife. The neighbourhood itself is a lively and historic part of West London, known for its waterside charm, green spaces, and cultural attractions. The world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew are literally opposite and only a few minutes’ walk away, offering stunning landscapes and glasshouses filled with rare plants. In the immediate vicinity is the historic Strand on the Green, where period houses line the riverside and charming pubs offer a step back in time. The Gtech Community Stadium, home of the Brentford Bees, is on the doorstep, while nearby Gunnersbury Park hosts a variety of events, including the Soho House festival. Brentford is also home to Syon Park with its stately house and gardens, the fascinating Musical Museum, and the much-loved London Museum of Water & Steam.
For the ultimate riverside dining experience head to one of the pubs along Strand on the Green, where the tide can quite literally lap at your feet. Brentford also has a thriving food and drink scene, with plenty of cosy pubs and welcoming restaurants along the riverside. Popular spots include The Black Dog, loved for its craft beers, and The Brewery Tap, known for its historic character and ales. For dining, Sam’s Riverside is a favourite for modern British dishes, while a variety of independent eateries across the neighbourhood add to the charm.
Kew Bridge is the nearest station, giving you quick and easy access to central London.
