Welcome to Hollowponds Row Boat Hire! We are open daily from 12 am to 7 pm, offering affordable prices for rowing boat rentals.

Each boat can accommodate up to five people and comes equipped with life jackets for a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

Boat Hire

  • A basic knowledge of rowing is helpful when using these boats, but it is by no means essential and first-timers are more than welcome.
  • Dogs (and pets) are also allowed onboard, but it's your responsibility to watch out for them!
  • There is no need to book! Just turn up and enjoy your day out with friends and family
  • NO BOATING IN THE DARK!

Prices

(All Boat hire is subject to a £10 Deposit which is refundable upon return)

My parents used to bring me here as a child and I visited for the first time in about 20 years yesterday. Had a lovely evening with my husband, it was just like I remember it. Lovely friendly staff and reasonably priced snacks. We’ll be back when the sun is shining again!

This is the best boat house we have in London by far! The staff are all amazing, the ice cream and ice lollies are really well priced as well. We come here every summer - our tiny dogs love the row boats as much as we do! Massive thanks to Jamie and his team for keeping this place friendly and beautiful ✨

Had a fantastic experience. The boat was in great condition, easy to use, and perfect for a relaxing time on the water. James, who helped us, was amazing. He was friendly, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were comfortable and safe. On top of that, he was a great photographer and took some amazing shots of us. His service made the day even more special. Highly recommend both the boat hire and James' excellent service!
