Historical Riverside Pubs

Riverside Pub Walk

This Historical Pub Walk will guide you to some of the oldest, most historical Riverside pubs in London. Explore the centuries-old streets and experience some of the best panoramic views of the River Thames in London. Visit:

• The 14th century tavern, where Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys regularly drank and where “hanging” Judge Jeffreys sat on the balcony, eating his lunch, while watching the pirates he had sentenced, hang at Execution Dock.
• The Mayflower Pub, where in 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers congregated before embarking on The Mayflower on their historic voyage to the New World.
• The haunted seventeenth century Pub, in whose cellars men, women and children were held as prisoners, before being transported to the New Worlds of America and Australia.

See also: Execution Dock where Captain Kidd, the pirate and hundreds of other pirates and murderers were publicly executed at the River's edge. All this, safe in the knowledge that during your visit, you will not, today: be press-ganged by the Royal Navy; or be drowned by unscrupulous scoundrels only for your body to be sold to a medical student: or have to drink alongside dangerous pirates!
