About This Place

Situated on the vibrant Boardwalk Place in London’s Canary Wharf, The Boathouse London Canary Wharf is a standout cocktail bar and event venue that effortlessly blends sophistication with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. This distinctive spot offers visitors a captivating waterfront experience, complete with stunning views of the iconic Canary Wharf skyline—ideal for those who crave both style and charm in their social outings.

The Boathouse’s cocktail menu is a true testament to craftsmanship and creativity. Guests are treated to an expertly curated selection of cocktails and fresh juices, each drink meticulously crafted to highlight unique flavor profiles and elevated presentations. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or a bold new taste adventure, the knowledgeable and passionate staff excel in tailoring recommendations that perfectly suit your preferences. As one delighted guest, Alexandros Moudiotis, noted, the team’s expertise transforms an evening out into a personalized and memorable experience.

Pair your drinks with their wood-fired pizzas, which bring authentic rustic flavors to the table. The Margherita, with its fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil, is a pure delight—even better with the vegan option—offering a light yet flavorful bite that's ideal for sharing or a casual indulgence. For those seeking something bolder, the Diavola pizza, topped with spicy salami and fragrant basil, delivers a delightful kick balanced by rich mozzarella and earthy extra virgin olive oil. Vegetable lovers won’t miss the Ortolana, a vibrant medley of fresh seasonal peppers, courgettes, and aubergines that promises both freshness and depth.

If you’re in the mood for small plates, the pan-grilled chicken and mushroom “Pot Stickers” along with the satay chicken skewers provide perfect savory nibbles that complement the cocktail offerings exquisitely. Vegetarian options like the vegetable jiaozi and vegetable spring rolls ensure inclusivity and a variety of textures and flavors that keep the palate intrigued.

What truly sets The Boathouse apart is not only its impeccable food and drink but also the atmosphere. The intimate, snug seating arrangements, combined with the cozy, yet stylish décor, create a vibe that is both comfortable and chic—a setting praised by many patrons such as Nanette Chapman, who found it the perfect spot to unwind and celebrate special moments. The venue’s elegance also extends to extraordinary private events, where it has played host to everything from intimate birthday gatherings to stunning wedding celebrations, earning accolades for professionalism and careful attention to detail, as shared warmly by Jasmine Attarian.

The Boathouse thrives on its location, too. As Ankit Chainani highlights, the setting is unbeatable—offering a perfect retreat on a sunny day to relax and soak in those waterside views. Rhea Che’s experience of sipping wine on a boat right beneath Canary Wharf’s striking architecture captures the uniquely magical feeling that permeates this venue.

Whether you’re looking for an atmospheric location for a special occasion, a lively yet intimate spot to enjoy some of London’s finest cocktails, or simply a stylish place to unwind with friends, The Boathouse London Canary Wharf delivers a seamless blend of taste, ambiance, and exemplary service.

    We hosted our wedding celebration at The Boathouse in Canary Wharf and couldn’t have been more impressed. The setting is elegant and intimate, offering a truly unique backdrop for such a special occasion. The team was exceptionally professional and attentive, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. A perfect venue that exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much to Louise, Alex and Mauricio for going above and beyond for me and all the guests 10/10

    Had the perfect end to my birthday evening at the BoatHouse. The staff were friendly and attentive. I was late for my booking but they graciously changed my time with no hesitation. The snug was the perfect set up for my friends and I. Comfy seating and a cool vibe. Obviously lovely views out the windows too. Would definitely recommend!!

    When I found this place, I thought, how on earth did I not know about this before? I mean, it is a wine bar on a boat right under the stunning Canary Wharf paint. Just the idea of hopping on a boat for an evening drink is exciting, but the actual experience? OMG, unforgettable. The space is understandably small, so I would definitely recommend booking. Once inside, it feels straight out of a movie. Every detail is carefully considered, warm, cozy, and full of charming décor and art. The service was perfect. I cannot remember the name of the guy who looked after us, but he was all smiles, full of good vibes, and so friendly. He welcomed us, took our order, prepared drinks, and checked in at just the right moments. We had a bottle of wine, followed by a pizza marinara and the mushroom buns, and honestly, everything was spot on. This place is perfect for a date or a catch up with friends. Once you are on the boat, you will probably find it hard to leave. Oh and did I mention their bathroom? You might expect, like I did, a tiny toilet like on an aeroplane, but when you open the door, you realise it is actually bigger than your bathroom at home, lol.

    I was genuinely impressed with the cocktail menu. There’s a fantastic selection, and the staff were incredibly helpful in recommending the perfect drink based on what I like. Their knowledge and passion really show, and it makes the whole experience feel even more personal. Everything was spotless, from the bar area to the seating. Perfect for a quiet drink or a catch-up with friends, The Boathouse is a brilliant spot. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    My friends and I went for evening drinks at The Boathouse, and it was an absolutely lovely spot for a date night or a relaxed evening out with friends. The pizza was delicious, the ambiance had a perfect mix of jazzy and classy vibes, and the drinks menu offered a great selection. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. The venue itself was well-maintained, with a spacious and clean restroom. There were seating options on the top level, at the entrance, along the bar, and even a private room inside for a more intimate setting. The music was fantastic, creating the perfect atmosphere. I highly recommend booking in advance and arriving on time to secure a good spot. While it's a great venue, I wouldn’t recommend bringing kids, as it might not be the safest environment for them. It’s also a fantastic place to host private parties. All in all, a hidden gem worth visiting!
