Embrace your inner Bond villain at this home with a difference. Moored in the West India Quay, this unabashed luxury yacht has all the trappings of a Monte Carlo casino. The saloon features a wrap-around cream leather sofa, hand crafted drinks bar and swathes of glossy cherry mahogany wood, it’s everything you’d expect from a vessel of this calibre. The upper decking will be the show-stopping centre piece of this unforgettable experience, where you can feast on meals cooked by the private chef and pop champagne corks under the stars and twinkling lights of London’s East End. After a morning mimosa on the lower deck, regain your land legs and explore your locale. The stellar restaurants of Canary Wharf are all but five minutes away and the West India Quay DLR is mere footsteps from your port side connecting you with the rest of the London Underground network.

About Canary Wharf
Known as the beating heart of London’s financial world, Canary Wharf has undergone a minor makeover in recent years. The skyscraper-heavy business district has carved out a place for itself in the city’s cultural scene, hosting a thriving independent retail reputation, pop-up restaurants and a free open-air gallery, which includes works from world-renowned artists Camile Walala and Helaine Blumenfeld. You wouldn't expect to find a green oasis in this part...
