When we had finished fitting out 30 The South Colonnade, the contractors
invited us to a meal in the floating restaurant in the North Dock.
Apparently it didn't get a lot of custom (there was nobody there then!) and
it mysteriously sank a short time afterwards. Insurance was mentioned! I
believe they raised it at the time, if not it should turn up now!

I'd never heard of a floating restaurant. Must've been before my time down
there. If City restaurants are anything to go by it probably sank under the
weight of its own hubris.

There's one now in East Ferry Road, and another in Regents Park.
