"When it comes to dining, London has a thing for eating on boats. From Caravel in Islington to Hackney Wick's Barge East, The Cheese Barge in Paddington and Feng Shang Princess in Camden, there are plenty of floating restaurants on this city's canals and waterways. And now a new pretender looks set to be joining them. If it's granted a licence, a new cafe and restaurant will open up in a boat called The Aphrodite at Town End Pier in Kingston, reports News."
"'The aim is to bring together the traditions of the River Thames and the vibrant café and eating scene in Kingston upon Thames to create a comfortable, friendly and relaxing atmosphere down on the river,' says the project's licence application documents. It plans to open every day of the week, closing at 10pm from Monday to Saturday and 9pm on Sundays."
