About this space

A compact private event boat arranged around an enclosed dining-and-bar layout; its defining quality is the waterside setting that surrounds the hire space.

Design: The interior is compact and linear, featuring mixed textured surfaces such as terrazzo-effect counters, geometric tile panelling and warm timber finishes. The ceiling sits low which keeps the proportions intimate and the lighting is focused and purposeful rather than diffuse.

Features: A fully fitted bar area sits at the heart of the layout alongside a flexible floor plan that converts from seated dining to an open standing area. A PA system and speakers are installed and the venue allows private music or an external DJ; guest Wi‑Fi and air conditioning are also available. The entrance is step-free and an interactive presentation board has been used for events.

Ideal for: Small corporate and social groups looking for an intimate seated meal that can shift into a relaxed standing reception.

What sets it apart: A small outdoor deck provides a private open-air area immediately adjacent to the interior.

What guests say: The space presents attractively with neatly laid tables and a practical bar area that accommodates extra decoration. The layout adapts well from dining to a cleared area for dancing or mingling.

Engagement Party · 32 guests · March 2026

Absolutely amazing place with the best staff. I had a birthday party on the 14th of March there and Danny and Fran were hosting us. I cannot stress how amazing they were - they helped me set up the space before the guests arrived,they were serving all my friends throughout the night and overall were super positive and professional! They brought such amazing energy that all my friends have been talking about it - truly the best hospitality I have ever received in London. I had an amazing birthday party- would definitely book with them again. The space is amazing and a truly unique way to celebrate a party or host an event as you can have the whole boat for yourself. It’s super well maintained,you can play your own music. They have a fantastic brochure of catering and tablescaping as well - everything you need to make your event unforgettable and truly personalised.
