Floating Pub!

From derelict london - boats
“The London Regalia, a floating pub was moored at Swan Pier, on the North bank of the Thames between Cannon Street Railway Bridge and London Bridge.

The permanently moored vessel offered The lower Orlop deck incorporating a stage and dance floor along with a bar and seating for 130. The galleried Mezzanine deck had a large bar with additional seating for 100 persons. The bar was very popular with City workers during Summer evenings. It also sold food from BBQs to private hire silver service functions such as wedding receptions.

The London Regalia was closed in approx 2011 and was towed downriver to West Silvertown where it currently remains disused and gradually decaying away.”
Ben M writes: "Regalia is up for sale and has appeared on apolloduck website priced around £100,000. The interior is still complete and as was".

However, derelict london – boats omits to give us the date on which Ben M told us it was up for sale. It has now appeared on the Medway just across the river from the Black Widow submarine, so I can only assume that it has now been sold/bought and somebody is planning to restore it.

How exciting!
