Depends how you view your time on a boat. I shouldn't really condone this but if you have a fuck it attitude and only consider it as a One or two year thing you could just continuously cruise and not do the 20 mile+ navigation you are supposed to. To satisfy a CC licence you should really be moving from Broxbourne(ish) to Uxbridge(ish). In reality you could get away with Tottenham to Westbourne Park which will give you a decent area of London to explore. You just have to move every couple of weeks. The waterways are busy now a days though but its great fun as long as your work life isn't super strenuous. Best of all Its mega cheap as long as you are handy enough to fix the odd boat issue. Licence fees, insurance, gas, fuel etc used to add up to about £150pm for me.
