Thanks for finding Tulana Taggs and for reading a bit about where you are considering to stay. It is a great first step to enjoy a lovely break on our private island on the Thames.  

This section is about me, your host. I am a flamboyant vintage dressing Afrikaans diva who has made London her home. Hubby and I have lived on a floating home on the inner lagoon of Taggs Island since 2019, our home is befittingly called African Queen. Taggs Island is London's best kept secret on the river Thames, even to residents in the local suburbs. From June 2022 I host other globe trotters on the adjacent floating home Tulana, to share our little piece of heaven on the water. 

I make vintage inspired flower hair accessories and other striking paraphernalia, as a creative outlet on the side (@lilabopcreations). If you are curious you can click on the link below to see what I create. I have a little studio with its own separate entrance as part of Tulana, from where I work during the week (when not occupied). 

If you stay at Tulana I can help arrange adjunct hot tub sessions, on-site deep-tissue massage sessions, paddleboard lessons and also link up with local artisans on the island - such as photographers, jewellers, artists. 

As we live next door to Tulana I can also be on hand to assist with recommendations about local restaurants, local shops, sightseeing in the area and travel guidance around London.  

Warmest regards from the lagoon, 

Linda
