• There are quite a few of that type of thing - when I first considered living aboard 4-5 years ago, fell in love with one with a ballroom and two bars, for about £200k. But they're all out in Medway - what's the point in having something that amazing if no-one will come to visit?

  • one with a ballroom and two bars

    Ha! Yes, I remember that. I went down to Medway to view it. Ended up not seeing it in the end. The location is the downside.

  • My ex and I lived in a council flat in Chelsea, we'd go for a walk along the river most evenings and became enamoured with the idea of living on a boat moored by Battersea Bridge... One came up for sale when we were looking and it was £250k, this would be around 1997, you could easily buy a very nice two bed flat in Fulham for that price at that time... Then we looked a bit harder and also wound up looking at huge converted boats in Medway for cheap but we both worked in London so forgot all about it...

    My girlfriend lived on a boat in Adelaide when she was younger and hated it... Her dad would take them out of the safety of their harbour in force nine gales when he was pissed tho', I'm sure that would affect my experience too... He's a fucking psycho...

    Good luck, I've always wanted to live on a boat...
