What to do in London: canoe & kayak on canals

You would like to do a funny activity in London while enjoying the sunny weather? Think about doing some canoe or kayak on London’s canal or on the Thames!

 

What is Moo Canoe?

Moo Canoes is a little company created in 2012 which wants to make London waterways more fun for everyone. They work with Thames 21, Poplar Union and The Canal and River Trust, using the fleet to enhance and protect the waterways.

You can rent canoes, kayaks and paddle boarding and plan a trip with 4 to 20 people on one of London’s waterways.

How much does it cost?

  • Tandem Kayaks are £26 for the first hour and £10 per hour thereafter.
