    We had a fantastic couple of hours. Great service and friendly staff. The area is really beautiful. Lots of ducklings and cygnets this time of year! There’s an M&S food hall right near by to stock up.

    A good experience overall. Welcoming service and clear instructions. The route at Paddington combines both buildings and greenery. Boats are very slow though and it's a bit pricey.
