Swap the usual dinner booking for a canal cruise that feels easy, organised, and a genuinely different type of Valentine's day out in London. Step aboard the Tarporley narrowboat and enjoy a relaxed 90-minute round trip on Regent’s Canal. You’ll see a side of London most people miss. Plus, you can still be home in time for your evening plans.
This experience suits couples who want something fun and different, without the fuss. The crew keeps things friendly and straightforward. Meanwhile, the canal does the heavy lifting on atmosphere, sights and sounds.
Valentine’s Days out in London with a simple plan
You choose your day, pick a time, book your voucher with Groupon and simply turn up. Cruises run on Saturday 14th February and Sunday 15th February. Departure times are 11:00, 14:00, and 17:00.
The cruise runs as a 1.5-hour round trip from King's Cross to City Road Lock and back. As a result, you get proper sightseeing without long walking. You’ll also travel through Islington Tunnel, London’s longest canal tunnel. During the tunnel section, the crew switches on Valentine’s mood lighting.
What you get on board:
Your ticket includes a welcome drink when you board. Choose prosecco, beer or a soft drink. After that, you can buy additional drinks onboard.
The boat has a heated cabin, which matters in February! It also has a toilet, so you can stay comfortable throughout. Please be aware that you will be sharing the cruise with other guests, with up to 10 people onboard.
This cruise also supports a local cause. The Camden Canals and Narrowboat Association runs volunteer-led operations and community work. So, your booking helps keep the boat running and maintained.
Key details you’ll want before you book:
You depart from King’s Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG, outside the Rotunda Restaurant. Arrive 15 minutes early for smooth boarding.
