My good friends Ian and Laura have been living aboard ship for over 5 years now in Islington and love it, I've stayed over a few times and its the best nights sleep ever. +1 on doubling up on gas/fire alarms. Also staying on top of the damp is a big issue(dehumidifier/keep the fire ticking over) as is keeping your chemical lav clean and fresh(tanked or portable?).
Until recently they were living on a 35ft narrow but just moved next door onto a doublewide dutch when Laura became pregnant - friday saw the birth of baby Rowan who'll be bought up as a bandy-legged boaty kid.
Also, drunken rides up and down Regents canal is awesome. We dredged a stunning oak church pew last year, many epic reasons to live on a boat. I want one.
