The Spotlight on The Boathouse London

Riverside Vibes Before the Show

Set along the scenic boardwalk in East London, The Boathouse London is a stylish and relaxed bar lounge offering a unique waterfront setting. With cozy interiors and a sleek, modern design, it’s a hidden gem for drinks, light bites, and socializing before heading to a nearby concert. The bar is known for its boutique boat venue and seasonal pop-ups, giving it a cool, ever-evolving vibe that sets it apart from your typical pre-show spot.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love The Boathouse London for its chilled-out atmosphere and quick, friendly service—perfect when you’re on a schedule. Its location near Canary Wharf makes it a solid option for those heading to shows at The O2 or other East London venues. You won’t have to shout over loud music here, making it ideal for chatting with friends before the main event. Plus, the curated drink menus and occasional live DJ sets bring just the right amount of energy to get your night started.

Who this Restaurant is great for

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the “Instagram-worthy setting,” “great cocktails,” and “friendly, professional staff.” Many love the novelty of drinking aboard a boat and mention how it’s “perfect for a pre-show chill.” The laid-back atmosphere and beautiful riverside views also receive consistent praise, especially during sunset hours.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that seating can be limited during peak times, especially if the weather is nice and everyone wants to be out on the deck. Food options are light—think more bar snacks than full meals—so it may not suit those looking for a big dinner before the show.

The Bottom Line

With its unique location, stylish setting, and concert-friendly vibe, The Boathouse London is a top spot for music fans looking to kick off the night in a memorable way.
