About

Cruising The Cut is about the historic canals of Britain. I (David Johns) quit my job in 2015, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat. Initially videos of my travels, I now document various aspects of canal life.

Video Description

London's canals and rivers are becoming ever more crowded with boaters as people flock to the capital's waterways, drawn by the lure of a seemingly idyllic and possibly cheaper lifestyle. But is the dream for real or is reality not quite as rosy? I went down to the big smoke to find out.
