Having wowed Londoners for years with their quirky pop ups and delicious food, the team at the London Shell Co. have taken the ultimate plunge, opening a permanent restaurant based in Paddington Central. Unlike conventional restaurants however, this spot replaces bricks, mortar and cement with a canal boat, instead offering its guests a dining experience on the idyllic Regent's Canal.

Open for lunch and setting sail 3 nights a week down the canal, the restaurant plays up its waterside theme, serving guests a range of seasonal seafood dishes and fine delicacies. Guests can expect to find themselves drawn to the Morecambe Bay oysters, smoked cod's roe and burnt leek toast, and queen scallops served with a pea puree as soon as they see the menu.

To enhance the flavours and help keep things moving swimmingly, the bar is stocked full of fine wines and international spirits, with the expert mixologists flairing up 5 signature London cocktails of guests to try out.
