Finsbury Park Boats

Put your oar into the duck-speckled waters of Finsbury Park Boating Lake with this boat hire service for all ages. Boats hold up to four people and you can take a watery turn around the island for just £8 per half hour between you. Don't get any grand ideas about boat-based acrobatics, though; no standing up is allowed and you can't get out anywhere but the boat landing you started from. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and under-twelves must wear one of the life vests provided. From noon-3pm on Saturday all rowers dressed as pirates will pay just £5 per boat. Opening times are noon-6pm daily from Easter to early October then weekends only in autumn (always weather permitting).
