House boats in the UK are also often called narrowboats.

In the UK, canal narrowboats are used as homes and also as mobile, rented, holiday accommodation. Narrowboats were originally used for bulk transport of raw materials and fuel on canals constructed at the start of the Industrial revolution. Nowadays, the canal network is mainly used for recreation and is different to typical holiday locations, which are usually based in coastal or rural areas, because canals are inland and often pass through many former historical, industrial, urban areas.

In coastal regions of the United Kingdom, the beached hulls of old boats and ships have been used as house boats in the past, for example, Peggotty's house boat of the 1840s in the novel David Copperfield. The few that remain today are often used as holiday shacks than as homes.
