GoBoat Canary Wharf

A picnic boat in the old docks, with the towers straight overhead.

Boating

Also in What’s On.

The sheltered water of the West India and Millwall docks, hemmed in by the tallest buildings in the country - the one location where the view is entirely vertical. In winter they run the Winter Pod, an enclosed boat with a heated seat, which makes this the only one of the four that is a good idea in January. Five minutes from Canary Wharf on both the Underground and the DLR. Self-drive electric boats you steer yourself - no licence, no crew, no instructor sitting with you. Eight people, a table in the middle for a picnic, a silent motor and a top speed of 3.5mph, which is about walking pace. Open daily from 09:30 until sunset, weather permitting, so the closing time moves through the year; the booking system has the day's actual hours.
