The boat moors on the Grand Union canal near Little Venice and the short route to her exact location along the easy-to-access towpath will be provided after booking.

Full of historical character, the boat was recently carefully renovated to retain original period features including the oak wood, brass fixtures and ceramic tiling - notably in the kitchen and bathroom.
