London's canals and rivers are becoming ever more crowded with boaters as people flock to the capital's waterways, drawn by the lure of a seemingly idyllic and possibly cheaper lifestyle. But is the dream for real or is reality not quite as rosy? I went down to the big smoke to find out.

Brilliant David 👏👏👏 And well done Riikka. Having started out as a continuous cruiser in London this brought back memories! Yes at times it can feel unsafe/hard to find a mooring/you have to queue/double moor. But as a community London’s waterways are entirely unique, everyone seems to look out for one another. And for those of us that aren’t retired it’s the only place in the country where you can be with others of a similar age/lifestyle.

@CruisingTheCut Год назад

Thank you, Robbie 👍

I miss Londons Boating community, it is amazingly supportive, I made so many friends. It’s a bit different where we’re ccing now in Yorkshire!

@abpob6052 Год назад

Land lovers don't want to pay the taxes that keep the waterways open. The only real solution is steep taxation on all boaters to 1. keep the infrastructure maintained and 2. separate the homeless from the real boat enthusiasts

@Johnketes54 7 месяцев назад

@@abpob6052Quite a bad attitude there, Way back in the late 60s early 70s we had a council run bus service, All this cost effective nonsense didn't exist, Paid for by the people to use but very cheap fares similar to the NHS, You ask if people "want to pay" THEY PAY, And everyone can use the facility with some policing obviously, People on the river pay the same council tax as a one bedroom flat and bring the mooring down and limit the number of boats on the canal, So those "land lover's" you despise pay a small percentage in the upkeep or clear of to Shoeburyness where everything is cheaper and access to the Thames at Shoebury Common unfortunately you have to pay i believe just for the day,Jetski paradise

@malthuswasright Год назад

The situation there also means it's practically impossible for visitors to go to London because all the moorings are taken up with live-aboards. It would be great to take a boat to London again but it's just too much hassle.

@DMHS77 Год назад

Doesn't strike me as a lifestyle with a lot of freedom, despite what the nice lady says. Move every 2 weeks, search for a mooring spot on top of someone else, queue hours for water/sanitary facilities, be afraid to leave your boat for any period of time due to crime. It might have been more free/open 20 years ago, but not anymore.

Another deep investigative report by a seasoned investigative reporter! I quite enjoy the new direction of David’s videos. This one because he tells about a different view of narrowboat life and pink flamingos. Keep up the great work! I enjoy the van videos too. Many thanks David!! 🇨🇦

@bobgiddings0 Год назад

Having her park that dog outside my bedroom window for any length of time would be a nightmare, assuming you slept at all. The whole river as seen here looks a bit like a very long low rent overcrowded caravan park. It would just wear you down into clinical depression sooner or later.

@susansurles3776 Год назад

The dog was probably saying "lets get moving"

Given David's reassurance that he stopped, I'd be more bothered by the flamingo. I get subconsciously bothered by things that look like they're looking at me. I would at least try to get used to it though.

There is a famous, rather fat Heron on the Tottenham stretch of this canal, where part of this was filmed, that will eat tinned fish straight out of your hand. I didn't believe it possible, as Herons are so wary, until I saw a lady feeding it sardines straight into its beak.

@jimithecat99 Год назад

Apart from a few exceptions that looked really nice, it looked to me that the majority of boats looked tatty at best or downright shabby. The long, long line of boats looked like a floating slum town.

@seanseoltoir Год назад

Agreed... Looked like the best improvement for those boats would be to just sink them...

@ruadhscottygirl2480 Год назад

If you can’t find the funds to rent, buy, or pay for a permanent mooring, you most likely won’t have the money to paint your boat or have a professional paint your boat either.

Love the video- I have always wondered what it would really be like to live on a narrowboat in London and this vlog gives ample insight. Quite a lot more difficult than I would have thought. What a lovely person with her beautiful dog and thanks to her for sharing a little of her experience with us. What a pity there are so many negative comments here, and some rather hurtful imo comments about her dog. Totally unnecessary and rude. I enjoy all your videos and the lovely people and their animals you introduce us to. Many thanks King David!

What a wonderful people you meet! Here in the Netherlands people confuse Boats with cheap living as well, and indeed they suffer! No maintenance for two years means a huge loss in value and 4 years to catch up. I have seen several new neighbors go very miserable with a debt for the boat and not being able to cope in winter with no place to go.

Couldn't cope with the constant stress of finding a mooring spot. That's totally contrary to the laid back and free ethos of boating!! Well put together and interesting video, I was unaware so many lived aboard in the capital!

@x--. Год назад

Yeah, I think I'd have to find a private mooring at least once or twice a year. Maybe go in with a few other boaters and try to get a lower annual rate. Having a break of "find a new spot" would be tiring.

I lived on a narrowboat in England for one year in 2001 to 2002. It was idyllic then. No double mooring in London. Little vandalism. We traveled the whole country. It was also only 600 £ for a license for one year! Too many people moved into narrowboats as housing and it ruined everything. I'm happy I did it back then. Also, almost all the boats were beautiful, well kept and works of art. I sadly agree with the comments that they mostly look awful now.

Lived in London on the canals 20 years ago. It was a lot quieter, but at the time there were very few resources and very many sketchy places, specifically in the East, around King's Cross and Paddington. And yes, huskies are all full of drama. 😁 Great dogs though.

@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177 Год назад

And this is on the River Lea...try that again a couple of miles south through the Hertford Union Canal (Ducketts Cut) and onto the Regents Canal through London. Moored up three abreast. Moored on water points. Moored on Lock approaches. It's an absolute nightmare. I took my boat through there in the early 2000's and it was amazing. Plenty of places to short stop and enjoy London. Went through there this summer (2022) and it was horrendous. Damaged Lock gates, flooded locks, drunk and abusive people, sunken boats, filth and rubbish everywhere. CRT? nowhere to be found.

I am sure with the cost of living going up, there will be another influx of new continuous boaters looking for a cheaper option to live on a boat. Think I will stick to less urban areas. Just don't like crowds.

What a great glimpse into boat life. The constant changing of where you live alongside actually living on water was so well captured. Now, that is one Happy Dog, anyone who knows this breed of dog (and understands dogs in general) knows Bowie is talking , involved in the journey and his life with Rikka on their floating home. As CRT have made more moorings into private , not repaired banks that could be used and taken an attitude that Continous Cruisers are a problem. I moved onto canals in 2000. Continuous Cruising was the legitimate way of life (and still is). TowpathLife ...nothing finer and more vibrant ⭐💫⭐💫⭐

@Bicyclehub Год назад

This is fascinating and it is great to see a really well-made video that takes a balanced view. It is certainly a challenging lifestyle and some determination is needed. The high rents in London are at the root of many of the problems, overcrowding in particular. It’s temporary though. There will come a point where all the boats will have to have electric propulsion and it will be interesting to see what happens then.

@Quickblood1 Год назад

I came very close to buying a small narrowboat for work in London. As my job requires me to move about it would have been perfect being a continuous cruiser and I was often working 5-10 mins from a canal but then we lost a load of London contracts it made less sense so got a van instead.

@agladman194 Год назад

Another great video David. That sunken boat by Stonebridge Lock... I reported that to CRT back in June, when it was floating. I told them it was in imminent danger of sinking because of the huge rust holes in its hull. I'm hoping (giving them the benefit of the doubt) CRT were doing all they legally could to get it moved, but just ran out of time.

@CruisingTheCut Год назад

Hmmm, yes the legal process always seems very drawn out but it's absurd when it's a navigation hazard!

@KymHammond Год назад

@@CruisingTheCut If the CRT already have the legal power to lift a boat from the water after a move-on notice noncompliance,and also manage mooring free zones, it seems odd, that they would not have the power to insist that a potentially sinking boat be moved to a dry-dock. I imagine you would also have people living on a boat still needing to commute to work, and from their successive different locations. It all seems a bit trailer-parkish.

@andrewpoloni4197 Год назад

These videos you've been making since giving up your own boat have been brilliant; it's really interesting to see all the special interest stories about the canals and the different locations. I still say the CRT should give you a proper job and let you be a contributor to their media outreach. I don't think the pink flamingo is you, though ... maybe an inflatable mini-version of the Ark Royal perhaps? =)

Stonebridge Lock, that brings pack memories. I was walking my dog near there (Doberman) in the mid 1970s. The water in the lock was completely covered in algae and the dog thought it was grass and went to run on it. I pulled him out and he was a bit shaking but he didn't do it again 😀

@bjw4859 Год назад

I always wondered, if you have an infinite number of boaters, but a finite amount of waterways, eventually a cap is going to have to be introduced.

@nigellunn8019 Год назад

An interesting video David, as always. You hear a lot of stories about boat life in London, a lot of which is very negative. You give an honest and unbiased account, well done.

@nicevans6827 Год назад

To all the people jibing about all the boats looking shabby and neglected, we could say that about a lot of houses in most areas of london. Unfortunately everyone isn’t 60 and retired with a good pension and buckets of spare time on their hands. (There are the people all the really beautiful boats usually belong to). Therefore there isn’t always the time to paint up your boat with beautiful sign writing and so on. Though it will have been a lot of peoples intention to ‘do the boat up’ when they moved on, a lot of people find it hard to get the basics of narrow-boating done, let alone a full restoration.

@nicevans6827 Год назад

Also, it happens to be the case that if you have anything nice in a city in the UK, someone will steal it. Having a beautiful narrowboat in London is likely make people from the various areas along the canal and unfortunately some people living on the canal believe that you also have valuable possessions inside that they can come and help themselves to. Which is a regular occurrence. I have had chairs, BBQ’s, plants, coal, mops, brushes among other things stolen from my roof, as well as being broken into twice on the river Lea. As well as catching people in the act of stealing stuff while I have been on the boat. Not to mention the constant stream of walkers that like to leave their rubbish on boats because the Lea valley authority doesn’t provide a single bin.

@randyw2539 Год назад

Interesting to have a look at another style of life on the canals, or, in this case, river. There are more challenges than life on the canals in more rural settings, but still has advantages over living in a flat. I don't envy their fight with the CRT for mooring rights/space, but wish them well! Excellent work as always, entertaining, and well shot. Also, thanks to Riikka and Bowie for letting us have a glimpse into their lives.

@andrewstrathdee1469 Год назад

Fascinating , David, thank you once again for a different view of boating life. I can see it would not appeal to everybody and I think the uncertainty of finding moorings must be anxiety creating. What is the rule on double mooring - can you only do it if the boat closest to the bank agrees?

@CruisingTheCut Год назад

There are no official rules just etiquette; if someone objects then it's likely to be an unpleasant stop if you try anyway so just move on and try another.

@JamesRook Год назад

A bit of an eye opener. Normally your videos are about idyllic cruises through the countryside or suchlike. This was a completely different perspective. It reminded me of years ago when I first visited my city's harbor which was full of trash and working boats in mostly poor condition. You could buy seafood and produce directly from the various wharfs and watermen. It's since been gentrified and now is full of tourist traps and muggers.

@mareks3352 Год назад

I think it's lovely that London's canals and rivers are properly alive! Seems like a lot more regulation is needed though. Congestion is a problem, boats in bad condition are a danger and atleast an eyesore that wouldn't be allowed for houses. Licenses should limit amount of boats to avoid congestion, boats should be required to be kept in good condition internally and externally, some types of boats should not be allowed.

@Britishdave09 Год назад

agreed, like a annual MOT safety inspection for boats.
