Most of them have people living in them all year round, they are not always the same boats though, some seem to stay forever others change occasionally. During 2012, the canal authority made every single residential boat leave for security purposes whilst the Olympic games were on, then they let them all come back afterwards. This was at the same time they put anti-aircraft missiles on the roof of a nearby block of flats not realising that the man living directly under them was a newspaper reporter who got a free article out of it.Nice pictures. Are the boats parked for the off season? Wondering how the boats next to the wall could get out when surrounded by other boats?
As for getting a barge out from another tied against it, I assume they just arrange it with each other. I imagine it's quite a friendly community.
