Moored along the Thames Embankment in Chelsea, this houseboat offers a rare way to experience London – river life with a neighbourhood on your doorstep. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the water from inside, while an alfresco dining terrace and on-board garden make the most of fine weather. Albert Bridge and Battersea Park sit directly opposite, and when you're ready to venture out, Chelsea's cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops that line the Embankment are within easy walking distance. Thames Clipper services keep the rest of the city well within reach.

About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure.
