Description
The English Maid is a rather ironic name for a 1933 Dutch barge which spent much of it's life sailing up and down the Seine. Now permanently moored near Lambeth Bridge for life as a bar.
Apart from the deck with stunning views of the Thames and Parliament, there are two further floors inside, filled with plenty of comfortable couches. The lowest level is actually rather disconcerting, with windows at the water level, making it seem rather like you're bobbing about in the water.
I guess it was low tide when I was there!

A rather sad end for a proud vessel..but at least it's being used.

Does seem a bit low tide, but probably a whole different scene at high tide! What a beauty!

I agree with Andrea ... it's got a second life, and isn't just sitting around rotting. Our local sad tale is the Kalakala (pronounced kah-LAK-ah-lah). I think it's past saving now, despite various good intentions. Thanks for sharing a success story!

Better than being scrapped I S'pose! But, who on earth decided on that colour!! Its awful.. Yep, the Themes is very much a title river, that's why the Themes Barrier is placed further towards the estuary.. It does get very high on rare occasions! Sad but interesting shot Clive! Rob

I thought it might be a houseboat. A super catch and interesting information!
