The Harpy Houseboat — London's Most Iconic
Luxury Holiday Let.

Named London's No.1 Best Airbnb by Time Out
Magazine in January 2025, The Harpy is
without doubt the most unique, celebrated
and sought-after holiday let in London.

HISTORY
Built in 1904 as HMS Harpy — the world's
first floating Customs & Excise office and
The City of London's royal landing stage —
The Harpy is a true London icon. King George
V visited in 1920 and The Harpy even features
in the Legoland London model.

Decommissioned in 1980, The Harpy was
acquired by pioneer Docklands developer
Andrew Wadsworth, relocated to the South
Bank 400 metres east of Tower Bridge, and
transformed into a spectacular 1,850 sq ft
(172 sq m) four bedroom floating home.
