Honestly not worth the money. Tiny rickety boat with an old 25hp engine, tackle not great , pulled up to concrete docks to fish. Disappointing. Save yourself 425 pounds and fish from the bank.

Mike communicated well while setting everything up to take our boys fishing while in London. Everything was ready when we got there. The boys had a lot of fun catching fish and Mike allowed them to participate in baiting, unhooking and netting the catches. Also the cafe on property was great!

From the personable, helpful support during booking to the superb tuition on the day - this was an excellent experience. My children had a fantastic time - friendly, fun coaches and plenty of fish biting. I couldn't recommend this more highly, the adventure playground, cafe, and easy accessibility mean we shall definitely be booking again. A great day out!

When my sons and my day of ocean fishing was spoiled due to high winds, Lloyd was able to present us with with multiple excellent options. We decided to start off with fly fishing for carp. Great choice! The carp were challenging, but with some tutoring from Lloyd we were each able to catch many high quality fish. Huge sport. I highly recommend it. Next with our fly fishing skills tuned up we moved on to trout. We enjoyed a nice afternoon of fishing in a great setting. Once again thanks to Lloyds coaching I was able to take a personal best rainbow on the fly. Between fishing sessions Lloyd served us an outstanding field lunch that was impressive in both volume and variety. Just the ticket for a dad with two teen aged boys out for a day on the water. All in all we enjoyed a fine day of fishing with Lloyd. He worked hard to see to all of our needs. He is a knowledgeable and patient coach and a great guy to spend a day fishing with. The next time I travel to England I will most certainly be booking a day of fishing with him. Jason Reese Minneapolis Minnesota

My son & I booked a fly fishing excursion with Lloyd at Fishing London in April 2014. We spent the day at Thornwood Springs. Lloyd provided comfortable transportation from our flat, all the necessary fishing equipment and what we consider to be the best lunch we have ever received on a guided trip. We are both very experienced fly fishermen from Colorado looking for a day away from the sightseeing and shopping that the Ladies in our party had in mind. What a great idea to experience fishing in another Country. While fishing is never predictable, we had a great day trying to hunt down those elusive brown trout. We did not catch any browns however both my son and I caught several rainbow trout. Lloyd was prompt in arrival and departure times, very friendly and informative. I would definitely book through Fishing London on our next trip to the UK. Zak Simmons Arvada, Colorado USA
