Released from London on Water:
Canal Boat World at London On-Water 2017 shows just how living on a canal boat, or hiring one for that laid back holiday you have always dreamed of, can be achieved.
Over the past two centuries, London, the surrounding counties and indeed the whole of the country, have been famed for their extensive range of inland waterways where cargoes of goods were transported, way before ‘Amazon’ was heard of!
Once a forgotten lifestyle, canal boating is now enjoying a real resurgence in popularity, not for commercial traffic, but for leisure boaters who find the peace and tranquillity of canal boats a truly joyful way of life. Indeed, many people are so entranced with the idea of ‘messing about in boats’ as a lifestyle choice that an estimated 20,000 are leaving dry land behind to live on boats on the UK canal system with the freedom to move on whenever mood or weather or job may take you.
Find out more at London On-Water 2017 at St Katharine Docks from 8th – 11 June 2017.
