The best home in London?

This is Rory Blake's home in London. He lives on a houseboat. At the moment, the boat is staying on the River Thames, but in the summer, Rory's family have holidays on it – it's their holiday home, too!

A People think that houseboats are uncomfortable, but we've got everything – two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. There's even a 'garden' on the roof of the boat. I'm growing some herbs up there now, because I love cooking.

B Our houseboat Marianne is seventy years old and usually it's in the centre of London. It's a cool place to keep the boat – we're near some famous museums and a good library, and the view is great.

C The only problem is the weather. When it's windy, the boat goes up and down! Also we need to paint Marianne every year. In fact my dad and his friend are painting the houseboat now.

D When visitors come here, they walk into our living room first. They think it's great because it's really comfortable with a big TV, a sofa and modern paintings.

E The kitchen is my favourite room. My mum is making dinner there now. We're going to eat in our garden, on the roof!
