Description

Description

Le Sorelle is an exceptional 1950s motor barge that has been transformed into more than 8,000 sq ft of luxurious, character‑filled accommodation and event space, offering a rare combination of historical charm and contemporary elegance. Featuring seven beautifully appointed bedrooms, multiple reception areas, an Art Deco inspired lounge, expansive indoor and outdoor garden spaces with a retractable roof, and bespoke craftsmanship throughout, the vessel provides a distinctive setting for boutique stays and private events. It sits within a vibrant waterfront community known for its world‑class amenities and easy access to transport, cultural attractions, and the wider Canary Wharf estate, making Le Sorelle a truly unique and highly desirable asset in one of London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods.

Location

Le Sorelle is moored at 1 Thames Quay, South Quay, Canary Wharf, London E14 9SG, occupying a prominent waterfront position in one of London's most dynamic districts. The vessel sits just a one‑minute walk from South Quay DLR Station, providing fast and convenient connections to Canary Wharf, Bank, Stratford, and wider Central London transport links. Situated within the Thames Quay and Isle of Dogs neighbourhood, the location combines a tranquil waterside setting with immediate access to Canary Wharf’s world‑class dining, shopping, and cultural amenities, along with a thriving residential and corporate community. For visitors arriving from central London, simply take the DLR to South Quay and walk across the street to the harbour; those approaching by road can follow signage toward Canary Wharf and South Quay, with nearby drop‑off points providing easy access to the mooring.
