The Harpy Houseboat

The Harpy is every bit as good as it looks in listings and photos, PLUS it is furnished with more amenities than are even listed. The adventure of living on a houseboat is extremely cool on its own, but doing so on a houseboat that is located at China Wharf looking directly a Tower Bridge in an area where people are flocking to from all around London to come and enjoy the restaurants and Thames river is even more spectacular.

Our family of 5 (3 kids = 10yr, 13yr, 16yr) stayed for 8 days and also had a friend with her 9yr old and 13yr old kids stay for a few nights. This boat never felt crowded and kids all had a total blast. There is a ton to do ON and off the boat. Andrew (owner) & Jan (property manager) were extremely communicative, helpful and clear. We hope to return soon!

60th Birthday Celebration

Wonderful to see The Harpy again, beautifully transformed from a Waterguard Station into an amazing houseboat.Our family were awestruck by the London skyline by night, the houseboats position could not be bettered. A highlight was seeing Tower Bridge open several times in one day to let vessls through.
The staff could not have been more helpful.
Thank you for allowing us to share this beatiful houseboat.
