London has a wide array of different houses to choose from, whether it is family homes, luxury apartments, penthouses or large mansions. There are even a number of floating properties if you want to live on the water. The Thames stretches for 42 miles across the capital and there are a number of waterways across the city too. This stretches the total mileage to over 100 and means there are many opportunities for people to live on houseboats.

Over the last five years the Canal and River Trust has seen a big rise in boat numbers as more and more people choose to live on them. This has seen some very exciting developments, including proposals for the creation of new marinas and opportunities for people to make their home on the water.

Hounslow is set to be the recipient of one of these developments. In May plans for a £5.45 million marina in Brentford were approved by the local Council. The idea is to create 26 berths on the riverside at Watermans Park. The project will improve the look of the setting, improve waste disposal, and could attract even more regeneration to the area.

Both the Environment Agency and The Port of London Authority (PLA) were involved in discussions about the proposals. Neither was in opposition to the redevelopment plan.

The new 26 berths will create further homes for people on the river in Hounslow. There will also be opportunities for investors to moor houseboats in the area and let them out.
