The Mary Read Boat at Number 90

The Mary Read is a private-hire canal boat moored beside Number 90 in Hackney Wick, offering organisers a distinctive waterside setting for intimate events. The space is suited to birthday celebrations, hen and stag parties, corporate gatherings, business meetings, team away days, private dining, photo shoots and other special occasions.

The boat is 30 feet long and has its own private bar, toilet facilities and PA system. DJ equipment can be provided on request, making the space suitable for events with music and dancing as well as relaxed receptions. The published capacities are up to 50 standing or 30 seated inside, with a rooftop area for up to 15 guests. For private dining, tables can be arranged inside for up to 50 people, with additional rooftop dining for up to 15, subject to the chosen layout and event arrangements.

Food and drinks are available through the Number 90 team, with options described for private dining and celebrations. The boat’s canal-side position gives guests a different backdrop from a conventional function room, while its mooring at Number 90 places it close to Hackney Wick Overground station and within easy reach of Stratford. Organisers can enquire about availability, event requirements and suitable arrangements directly with the venue team. With its own bar, facilities and sound system, The Mary Read offers a self-contained setting for smaller celebrations and gatherings in East London.
