"The London Shell Co is like meals on wheels, but with no wheels and a lot more oysters. Their Prince Regent canal boat serves a set seafood cruising menu (if you want to be on the move), while The Grand Duchess boat is a la carte (if you prefer to be stationary). Although it reads slightly novelty, this is a genuinely lovely experience. Particularly in the evening, where it feels like a romantic and very British mixture of Titanic and The Talented Mr Ripley. Only with far fewer fatalities. Touch wood." - sinead cranna
