Boat Hire

You don't need to own a boat, or drag it across the Channel from  mainland Europe to enjoy the Thames, there are lots of places to hire anything from a tiny day boat to a floating holiday home complete with all the luxuries you'd enjoy on dry land.  If you don't want the responsibility of a whole boat, why not take a boat trip instead, anything from an hour to an overnight party boat.  Don't worry if there isn't a phone number, some day boat hires and boat trips cannot be booked in advance, you just turn up.
