Simon Howard is fighting eviction from his high-profile mooring at the entrance to Cheyne Walk, a Chelsea road that has been dubbed Billionaires' Row.

The couple transformed the boat into a luxurious 100ft two-bedroom boat complete with a spiral staircase, three bathrooms, a sun terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows and a retro-inspired bar. Mr Howard says his lavish outlay on the £1.5 million ship, which he acquired instead of buying a house, because he wanted to live on the river.
