Charming Historic Boat Moored opposite Kew Gardens.

Enjoy stunning sunset panoramas on the tidal Thames from our beautiful, historic vessel. From her secluded garden mooring, Seacrest boasts magnificent views of Kew & Brentford Ait Nature Reserve. With fantastic transport links, she’s a riverside walk from many superb restaurants & pubs. This unique home is a comfortable, peaceful retreat, with all of Central London’s amenities at the doorstep.

There are a number of fantastic restaurants within walking distance, whether the Michelin Star Glasshouse in Kew Village, a host of cozy riverside pubs or a range of fantastic establishments in Chiswick and Richmond.

We're moored directly opposite the iconic Kew Bridge, whose arches contain a range of fantastic boutique businesses such from paddle boarding to gyms and spas. The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew across the river, whose boundary you can see from Seacreast's windows, isn't the only place to spot wildlife. Between the boat and the Botanic Gardens sits an island (Brentford Ait Nature Reserve) which was planted by Queen Victoria and provides refuge for our rarest river birds. Families of seals sometimes pass under the window, and every spring a new cluster of ducks, geese or swans nest on our garden mooring.

Kew Bridge station will take you direct to central London and is less than a 5 minute walk away, but you can also catch the river ferry from the other side of Kew Bridge, which, in spring and summer, travels downstream to Westminster or upstream to Hampton Court.

We look forward to welcoming you to our very special tidal home.

Hébergement atypique et expérimental.

Compter quand mĂȘme environ 50 minutes par les transports en commun pour arriver au centre de Londres. Le cadre est plutĂŽt agrĂ©able, naturel et calme,en profitant des marĂ©es de la Tamise ( et oui !) et des oiseaux, canards , aigrettes aux marches du Seacrest. Belle expĂ©rience ! Notre hĂŽte, Mark, n'est pas avare d'explications. Petite precision pour vivre Ă  bord : ne pas ĂȘtre trĂšs grand ni gros ni....handicapĂ© , l'escalier pour accĂ©der aux chambres et sanitaires est Ă©troit et bas ( attention aux tĂȘtes !!!

Séjour bateau Kew Bridge

Bel emplacement, au calme, loin du bruit du centre de Londres.Station de bus à 5 mn à pied. Attention il faut compter 1 heure en transport en commun pour atteindre les quartiers emblématiques. Propriétaires sympathiques et disponibles.Cet hébergement sur l'eau est insolite, il nous offre un cadre reposant avec une magnifique vue sur la Tamise. Par ailleurs, le bateau mériterait un petit coup de neuf et de propreté, mais nous avons passé un bon séjour.

Had a great stay at this quirky property on the Thames at Kew. Great location and communication with Mark. We quickly got to grips with the steps/gangplank etc but this could be difficult for less agile guests. Low ish ceilings but not a problem for us as we are both short! If you are expecting something like a streamlined luxury place then this isn’t for you but if you’ve been camping/caravanning/motorhome you will be fine. We really loved our time there and it was great to see the birds and the sunrises/sunsets. Great fun!

I loved the charm of this old boat. Such a super great experience. Mark was wonderful! very thoughtful and gave me all the instruction I needed to be comfortable on the boat. He even had laminated instructions and maps should any questions pop up about the boat or the local area.It was very interesting feeling the boat rise and fall with the tides. Something I didn't really expect, but found quite enjoyable. I loved it, and would absolutely do it again. thank you Mark:)

Mark was very friendly and escorted us to the boat and ran us through everything. Cabin was small but comfortable although we had two large suitcases that would have been almost impossible to take down to the bedroom so we had to leave them upstairs which took up quite a bit of space. Kitchen was adequately equiped. Double bed was very comfortable. Hairdryer supplied as well as a few basic food items.Bathroom good size. The boat was mostly nice and clean and had lots of character with a few little quirks. Mark uses the boat himself and he has a lot of personal items around but this wasn’t a big problem.It was nice and quiet. Plenty of bird life to observe and we even saw a seal swim past.Basics can be purchased in garage over the road and there are supermarkets within walking distance. Public transport is very convenient and there are nice walks to be had in the area.Lots of pubs and restaurants close by but the boat is moored in a quiet spot alongside a footpath away from the road. Make sure you check tide times as at very high tides the end of the gangplank can go under water for a short time making it tricky to get on or off the boat.

An oasis floating in the Thames

This is an extraordinary location. It’s hard to believe you are really in London. The nature preserve on the estuary across from the houseboat makes this an extremely quiet and private spot while still being extremely convenient.When I was choosing this stay, I noticed that the reviews are mixed and that many people Noted that the boat is not perfectly clean or up-to-date. That is true. This is very much a family owned and loved and used houseboat, it’s over 100 years old, and it is not a spiffy twee B&B. But it is an extraordinary experience that I will repeat as soon as I possibly can. We found the beds very comfortable,

The check in was very good but the boat really needs a good clean inside and out. There are a lot of personal items so it is hard to use surfaces. The washing machine cannot be accessed unless you contact Marc. The little fridge was difficult to control. Bring your own laptop if you want to watch movies as we didn’t have ours. Lots of hot water and the beds are comfortable with nice clean white sheets. The bathroom is fine. The best part was all the ducks, heron, egret & geese you see on the river and how close it is to the Thames path, Kew Gardens and the Musical Museum.

What a delightful old boat in an idyllic setting! Seeing the 'old' craft of making a boat, the woodwork, thinking thru how to naximize use of space fascinated me. Loved my stay. Mark is charming, be sure to have him tell you the history of the boat! He stocked the fridge with brekkie, there was a bowl of perfect apples and charming bouquets of flowers all about. I loved being on the river opposite the nature reserve island and all the creatures living on it. So much to watch, I ended up not going to any of the nifty pubs about, in favor of sitting on 'my' boat and enjoying the surroundings.

Unique & Fun Stay – But Not for Everyone

Unique & Fun Stay – But Not for EveryoneWe had a really fun time staying on this charming historic boat across from Kew Gardens. It's definitely a memorable and unique experience—something different from the typical hotel or rental flat. The owner was lovely and very accommodating, even allowing us to check in early, which we really appreciated.That said, this place won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. While it has a lot of character, it’s also quite cluttered and feels like it could use a deep clean and a bit of general maintenance. The outdoor area was messy, with a yard full of goose droppings, which made it less pleasant to enjoy the outside space.Inside, while cozy and full of quirky charm, things were a bit dirty and disorganized. If you're someone who prefers pristine, polished spaces, this may not be the right fit. But if you’re up for something a bit rustic and don’t mind a few rough edges, it’s a fun and memorable place to stay.Overall, we genuinely enjoyed the experience, but just go in with realistic expectations—this is a charming, lived-in boat, not a luxury hotel.

Hotels are boring next to Sea Crest

The Pros: Owner, Mark, is gracious, communicates well, provides a tour, and is generous with an attitude what his is yours to use. -You are entering Mark’s world and his play ground. He is nice enough to share his family retreat and now that he is retired & children are gone he shared it with us. I loved it!-there are his memories, journals, knickknacks, books, photos everywhere, yes it is a bit cluttered but has life. -it was fun to brag you are staying on a boat to others around the city and they are all eager to ask questions. -a time capsule -cast iron tub that is large and they must have built the boat around it 109 years ago, be sure to take a bath, lots of hot water. -the swans visit every day looking for an offering from you. -everything is different from the modern hotel but is highly usable. -compost toilet but does not stink-old school faucets with good water pressure -5 meter tide twice a day -bus stop is 100 yards away to everything and TUBE No reason to ever take a cab -very safe, of course you do have a moat around you with gate, and wall. -Cons: -Ceiling can be a head banger but you get use to where and when to duck quickly. Over 6’ tall and you will learn faster than others. -All Mark’s trinkets give the place a clutter feel. -Suck it up, you are in a time capsule, wonderful view, QUITE, SAFE, and everything works, just takes a bit of getting use to. -Beds are short as they all were in those days but comfort

Wonderful NYE/football trip based from Seacrest

Mark was incredibly accommodating with arrival and check out times! Gave many recommendations for the local area and was thorough in his informing us about the quirks and pleasantries of the Seacrest. We spent most of our time in London proper but breakfast and pubs were easy to find in Kew. Public transit made travel from the boat quite easy. Will be returning if we come back to London!

Not as expected

The description of the boat was misleading. The sleeping cabins were difficult to get into, down a steep awkward ladder down below the galley. Nor did they mention that the composting toilet required each person to sit on it and it was not pleasant. Also the boat was not very clean and there were personal affects of the owner all over the kitchen and salon. The boat sits on mud when the tide is out. The gangplank to get on the boat was wobbly and dangerous. The sheets were clean and we enjoyed the swans drifting by in the morning. The view was lovely. We left before the second night. On it and was not pleasant. on the toilet and
