Two new floating restaurants designed by popular Beatles' artist now open

Award-winning Australian restaurant group, Daisy Green Collection, has announced that its two city barges, Darcie and May Green, are now open to the public.

Situated directly outside Paddington Station, in a West London water-top setting on the Grand Union Canal, the two boats offer an eye-catching exterior designed by British pop artist, Peter Blake.

The all-day menu features Antipodean-inspired food for which the group is renowned for. By night, the site is said to become an evening restaurant and bar, offering Aussie-inspired food, cocktails and various wines and local craft beers.

Prue Freeman, founder of Daisy Green Collection, commented: “Daisy Green is focused on creating exciting one off local destinations which bring together laid back Australian food culture, art and design.

“The prominent water top position at the heart of the Paddington regeneration together with artwork from the godfather of British Pop Art, Peter Blake make Darcie and May Green two very special vessels which we are so excited to have introduced to Paddington Central.”

The boats are also open for private hire, standing at 50 metres each and set over two levels.

Visitors can also view the latest exterior design work from the eponymous 88-year-old artist, Blake, who designed The Beatles’ best-selling album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sleeve 50 years ago in 1967.
