GoBoat Kingston

The upper Thames, where the river stops looking like London.

Also in Outdoors & Nature.

Out from Kingston into the green, slow stretch of the Thames above the tideway - swans, willows, Hampton Court somewhere downstream. A canopy is available if you ask for it when booking, which on an English afternoon is worth doing. 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.
