London’s Ten Best Riverside Pubs, London, England

The Travel Pages picks London’s ten best riverside pubs, from historic inns to modern brewpubs, all with River Thames riverside locations.

Here’s The Travel Pages guide to London’s Ten Best Riverside Pubs, each offering scenic views, standout beers, and delicious food. Whether you’re after a historic haunt or a modern brewpub, this list has something for everyone.

Steeped in maritime history, The Mayflower claims to be the oldest pub on the Thames. With candlelit interiors, low ceilings, and a charming riverside terrace, it’s a cosy escape from the bustle of the city. The pub is named after the ship that carried the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620, and its nautical décor reflects that legacy.

Inside, you’ll find wood-panelled walls, open fireplaces, and a refined atmosphere. The bar serves Beavertown Neck Oil and Camden Pale Ale, while the kitchen delivers upscale British cuisine-think slow-roasted pork belly, Cornish crab, and Sunday roasts. ......
