The Harpy Houseboat

Oh, what an amazing experience — beyond all expectations. We’ve had four fantastic days on this well-equipped and beautifully designed boat. We will definitely be back and will recommend Harpy to everyone.
Greetings from all of us at Viking Adventure and Utne Hotel in Norway.”

Fantastic

My husband had a big birthday to celebrate and we decided on The Harpy houseboat as our base in London for our family from Australia to share with us the celebrations
WOW what a fantastic time we all had
The Harpy is so much more than pictures, you have to experience a stay to know how special it is on this houseboat that is so historic, quirky and the location - 
up there as top 10 views in London… 
Sensational experience, can’t wait to do it all again in Summer!

Amazing

We have had the most wonderful time celebrating a big birthday for my son . The Harpy is perfect for families in a wonderful position with exceptional views. Always something interesting to see on the river, lovely to sit on deck with a glass of wine and watch London light up .Jan the housekeeper was extremely helpful even posting something I left behind. Super comfy beds and the boat is very cosy. Superb position with so much to explore close by. I highly recommend it for something completely different.

Super comfy beds

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!

Best place to stay in London

What a wonderful and unique accommodation.  Can't recommend enough, the team are very friendly and welcoming and Andrew very attentive for any issues before or during stay - thank you so much!!
