We brought our boat to London from Whilton this time last year. No idea where we were going. Never been on a boat before, Bought the first one we saw. Surveyor recommended by Whilton, Turned out the family were on the pay role.They said it would take 5 days. Took 2 weeks and that was only to Uxbridge. Hit everything insight, Got drunk every night and had a blast.Love our boat and the life.And whoever said London is full is obviously not too bright. There are a lot of boats but we manage very well and no complaints. Mind you we don'y have nor want permanent moorings. Might as well have a house
