Best Boat Bars In London

It might be seriously cute, but London Shell Co isn't just a pretty face. The blue barge is also a renowned restaurant floating on the river, serving an ever-changing and seasonal menu as it putters up Regent's Canal.

With a British fusion menu developed by head chef Ryan Craig who spent time cooking aboard some of the world's most luxurious private yachts, to an impressive menu of drinks and stunning views over the water, this unique barge is the ultimate destination if you're looking for something a little different.

The ultimate London boat bar for quirky dining, Darcie & May Green are the two of the most colourful barges on the river. Offering bottomless brunches, friendly staff and gorgeous views down the Union Canal, this Australian brunch spot is a must-try.

Fronting an onboard bar, dining room and fish and chip shop, The Tattershall Castle is one of the best floating pubs in London. Whether you're turning up for one of their comedy or jazz nights, or just a few drinks on their suntrap of a deck, The Tattershall has something for everyone.

Moored at the Victoria Embankment, Bar&Co is one of the most chilled out floating bars in London. Ideal for casual drinks on a sunny afternoon, you'll find stunning views of London's most iconic landmarks, and a 3am license that means you can enjoy them late into the night. 

With a tasty food menu, a great selection of beers, wines and cocktails, and ukulele jam sessions, this cool space is perfect for sunshine chilling or winter snuggling, as well as having cracking views over the Thames.
