Who this site belongs to
This website is operated by Valentines Park Row Boat Hire (Valentines Park Boating Lake), Cranbrook Road, Ilford IG1 4UA — 020 8518 0994, jeff@valentinesboats.co.uk.
Using this site
Browse away — there's no login, no account, and nothing to sign up for. By using the site you're agreeing to these terms; if something here doesn't sit right with you, the simplest option is not to use the site and to contact us directly instead.
Prices, hours, and accuracy
We keep pricing and opening hours as up to date as we can, but there's no live booking system behind this site — everything is walk-in, paid in person at the boathouse. Treat prices and hours shown here as a strong guide rather than a guarantee, especially near the edges of the day; call ahead if the timing matters to you.
Content and images
Text, photos and the wildlife guide on this site belong to Valentines Park Row Boat Hire unless stated otherwise. You're welcome to link to the site or share pages, but please don't copy substantial chunks of it elsewhere without asking first.
Other websites we link to
We link out to things like Google Maps, our social media pages, and occasionally Valentines Park's own managing organisation. We're not responsible for the content or availability of any site we don't run ourselves.
No guarantees
This site is provided as-is. We don't guarantee it'll always be available, error-free, or perfectly up to date, and we're not liable for any loss arising from relying on it — if in doubt about opening hours, pricing, or availability on a given day, a phone call to the boathouse is the reliable source of truth.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
Changes
We may update these terms occasionally; the date at the top of this page will always reflect the latest version.
