Merchant Houseboat

About this home

It’s a premium location in the unique public floating garden, just a ten-minute trip down the canal to Little Venice – take your very own rowboat down to the exclusive oasis.

Back on land, go for a spin on the free-to-use bicycles, exploring nearby Edgware road and leafy green Hyde Park – under a seven-minute cycle away.

When you do return to your luxurious barge, you’ll find sleek Scandi interiors with warm reclaimed timber walls.

Compact but better equipped than many homes, this houseboat provides the ultimate boutique hotel experience – from the swanky freestanding bathtub to the chic breakfast bar.

As space is at a premium here there is no dishwasher, microwave or laundry facilities.

The houseboat is suited to two guests but an additional two may use the sofa-bed in the living room, although we think it will be a tight squeeze.

There are plenty of entertainment options too.

Snuggle up with a movie in the cosy (inside) living space – complete with a cleverly positioned projector.

Choose a book from the extensive collection – courtesy of independent publishers – and sink back into the egg-shaped swing seat in your unique outside living space (and don’t worry, you can purchase all the books on-board if you’re a few chapters short).

It’s the perfect setting for a romantic getaway in the city, with the spectacular rooftop dining area also ideal for entertaining friends and celebrating a special occasion. We absolutely loved it.
