They have since moved to Devon from London. Three cabins, two bathrooms, and reception areas were fitted with custom cabinetry over 18 months. The barge was originally built by SRF shipbuilders in Holland. After the work was completed, the 31-metre-long barge was launched across the North Sea to her permanent docking at Wapping’s community-run Hermitage MOorings.
