Step outside onto the riverside terrace, and you’ll see the Thames doing its slow, brown dance. The view is so iconic that painters have been setting up easels here since before cameras were invented. On a clear day, you can see the O2 Arena, which is the pub’s 21st-century neighbor, looking like a giant silver zit on the horizon.

The tide goes in and out like a lazy breath. When it’s low, you’ll see mudflats and the occasional lost shoe. When it’s high, the water slaps against the wall, and you’ll swear you can hear a pirate’s curse echoing from somewhere. It’s the perfect spot to think, “Well, my problems aren’t that bad—at least I’m not being hanged at low tide.”

Food, drink, and foolishness

The food is exactly what you’d hope: pub grub that doesn’t try to be a Michelin star. Bangers and mash, fish and chips, a scotch egg that could double as a stress ball. It’s the kind of meal that soaks up the ale and sits in your stomach like a warm brick.

The beer selection is proper—real ales, lagers, and a cider so dry it’ll make your face pucker like you’ve swallowed a lemon. Don’t order a fancy cocktail here. The bartender will look at you like you’ve asked for a unicorn. Just nod, say “pint of the dark stuff,” and you’ll fit right in.
