- Ahead of this summer's Olympic Games, London's houseboat residents who moor along the city's canals and rivers are scrambling for docking spaces. New security rules are making much of central London off-limits to the legally roving subculture of boaters.

Keep your boats neat and clean. Do the paint up. That would go a long way
This really shows the gross side of living on the cut.
THEY PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP A PARKING LOT....Joni Mitchell
water hippies love it
p Yo I thought hippies were scared of water
nice one guys great vid, power crazy government, but youve got it right and one fine day ill do the same cheeers
Nice video, Loved the music and the visual. I hope your lives returned to pre olympic times.
This video would be a lot better without that *music* in the off .... quite distracting
Idea: clean up your fucking junk and people wont complain...
I like jigsaw puzzles.
It looks awful. And sometimes the kindest thing is to tell someone the truth.....
Your comment is very rude

Sometimes the truth will offend you.
And sometimes rudeness gets the point across.
Whether you want to hear it or not.
Downright naugthy move by the gow there..!
Не грустите, Роб. Попадется Вам нормальная чувиха.
It’s become a nightmare to live on a boat and we are being priced of the rivers and canals. It was once idyllic but becoming a nightmare
What costs have increased? I'm genuinely interested
damn hippys are security threat code tie dye!
Damn Hippys,have intimidating Stuff of you on Facebook...
Nice to be nice 🤔🇬🇧pole nit
i'm a boater. big time. you're not doing the right thing. your squaters in boats. it's not right in your environment. you're going to live in a sewer if you don't break up this situation!
You are exactly right David. They ruin it for themselves. Just look at some of the boats. Anyone who has been around any of these free anchorages knows damn well that many boats end up literally covered with garbage! Nevermind sewage!
David Heitman let me guess, rich boater?
Miss Kelly it doesn't cost anything to keep it clean. Second hand boats are not that expensive
Hmmmm......we all talk about low impact on the environment, these people are actually doing something about it. I am sure the local shops would be sad to see so many customers move. Was the area reopened?
Why do you need a microphone to sing in a space that small ?
Wow I think the girl resembles a young Diana....
Reminds me of a trailer park 🙄
Love 💗 this video & ur singing 🎤 just beautiful
God is ashamed of the Queen.
I know this is an old video, but I have no sympathy at all with these people. They are breaking the rules already. As a continuous cruiser you are supposed to be on a gradual journey around the system, not moving back and forwards within the same few miles. If you work in London, as many of these people seem to do, you cannot reasonably live as a continuous cruiser. They clog and pollute the canals. Visitors cannot moor. They should be cleared out and not be allowed to return!
Spencer Wilton cleared out ?
Your not much for live n let live are you? What a wonderful way to live, be accountable and environmentally aware. Nobody owns the river or canal and it is there to be used and appreciated. There a people that want to live like the jones and people that live their lives like the butterfly. Its your right to choose for yourself but not for anyone else.
Hope your not trying to sing for a living love..........
Gawd... Make her stop what was that she was doing? Singing? Aw gawd, she's awful... I lost the whole context of the piece.... I'd have rather preferred to hear drowning rats screeching..... make her STOP!!!
You are an ugly person and I am not referring to your outward to your physical person. Why take the time to look at someone's video and then make an ugly comment ?
Ignorant rowing club (barge this barge that it's a narrowboat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
boonster666 the boats were built on barge hulls from the days of transporting goods over the canals. Basically they built cabins on top of flat barges...
