Long Tom is a purpose-designed passenger sight-seeing narrowboat owned jointly by Angel Community Canal Boat Trust and London Canal Museum.
There are two ways to enjoy a trip on Long Tom:
Angel Community Canal Boat Trust is based at Islington and offers private charter, and trips for community groups, with a skipper, for up to a maximum of 12 people. For details and bookings please go to the Angel Boat website.
London Canal Museum offers a range of public trips on Long Tom, departing from the museum in King's Cross. All cruises include a museum visit. Please go to the museum's boat trips page for details and bookings.
Long Tom was used as a cream tea boat on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal before being bought by the two partner charities in early 2023. It has all the facilities needed for simple catering and large picture windows that can be opened in good weather. There is a toilet on board although guests are encouraged to use shore facilities whenever possible.
Access to the cabin is via steps so unfortunately wheelchair users cannot be accommodated although the crew will always do their best to accommodate people with disabilites who can be helped to descend into the cabin. In winter there is background heating but outdoor clothing is reccommended. The boat is always operated under the supervision of a qualified skipper.
