Why not explore beautiful Little Venice on Regent’s Canal in a self-skippered boat? GoBoat, who are based in Paddington’s Merchant Square, hire out eight seater motorboats which are child- and dog-friendly. All motorboats are furnished with a picnic table – perfect for enjoying a leisurely lunch whilst voyaging along the water. No previous experience is necessary as GoBoat will give you a little training session before you set off.
You can easily access Merchant Square from Hertford Street by heading north through Hyde Park.
“We loved the adventure of driving ourselves. Also loved the changing aspect of the canal from modern buildings to charming barges to the tranquility of Regent Park. Our travellers were 70+, two five year olds, two 30 somethings and a dog and we all loved it. All adults took turns driving.” Review on Trip Advisor, August 2021.
