On our visit it was moored at Granary Wharf near King's Cross, where regular jazz bands play either alongside or on the roof.
It cruises and moors up between various locations on the Canal including The Angel at Islington and another close to the Olympic Park at Stratford.
It was a book lover's delight - so many fabulous second hand books
Its uniqueness had me enthralled
It had its own resident dog and even an old iron stove below deck
This visit certainly came up to my expectations and didn't let me down.
Have a great weekend.
Oh my goodness, that is the most adorable thing that I have ever seen . . . what a great idea and I love how cozy and eclectic the inside was. It looks like something out of a movie . . . you know the place where you find that long lost book that carries you into another world of imaginations and unreal adventures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us. I can't wait to tell Steve about it . . . he is a true lover of books:)
This sounds such a great adventure you went on Patricia. What a fantastic idea this person had.

What a wonderful place. Books, books, books can't ever have too many.
ReplyDeleteI saw this book shop on another blog during the summer. It looks wonderful, and is such a great idea! Will have to visit it next time I'm in London. I always love bookshops! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea it looks fabulous - my idea of heaven.
ReplyDeleteI do like this idea very much Patricia - one of the things I enjoy about life today is the fact that although times are difficult for so many youngsters some are extremely enterprising and come up with wonderful ideas like this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place the boat bookshop looks. I'd really love to visit it on one of my trips to London.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea for a book shop!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love places like this. Old books always fascinate, and it has terrific atmosphere. Looks like a lot of fun.
