About
The Little Green Boat Company should lead the Staines things-to-do file because it is the most obviously memorable activity in town. Its own site confirms rowing boats, electric boats, walk-up or advance booking, no experience needed and a riverfront base in Lammas Recreation Ground, which makes it a far stronger leisure pick than generic retail-led alternatives.\n\nTripadvisor attraction pages also keep surfacing boat hire among the main things to do in Staines, so it is both locally distinctive and reputation-backed.
