One lovely double room available for 5-6 months in huge converted boat as seen in New York Times – this is not a typical houseboat! it’s more like a very large home that happens to be on the Thames so if you'd like to live somewhere unusual for a while with every luxury then this is for you!
Search Google under "NY Times houseboat london" and the article "A Houseboat on the Thames" will come up which features us.
The room is a double bedroom in a four bed / two bath flat on an ex-North Atlantic fishing trawler on the Thames, halfway between Vauxhall Bridge and Battersea power Station on the South side, 7 minutes from the new Battersea Power Station development and tube station, and about 10min walking distance to Vauxhall, with immediate access to 344, 436 and 156 buses. There is a large Waitrose right across the street, a small Sainsbury's a few doors away and a large Sainsbury's ~20 mins walk away.
The monthly rent is inclusive of everything except broadband internet and cleaner (which together comes to £30 extra a month).
The room is available for 5-6 months from mid-October and is fully furnished with a bed, chest of drawers, and cupboard.
You'll be sharing the flat with 2 female and 1 male professionals. And 2 flats in the other half of the boat.
The boat features a huge deck space with great river views, a washer/dryer, gas cooker, tv, central heating and the usual amenities. It has brought everyone who has lived here a unique experience of London and boat community.
We're looking for someone who is very clean, fun and sociable. We like a good party and hosting, but prioritise respect for one another so that we can all get to work in the morning! You can expect a very sociable home where we are open, and probably more like a family than strangers that live together.
