The perfect place for a date

Situated in a quiet corner of Bermondsey, this cosy pub is perfect for music lovers, foodies, or anyone seeking an upscale pub experience. The dark interior, complete with wooden furniture contributes to the cosy atmosphere. Enjoy craft drinks alongside gastro meals that will ensure you come back for seconds.

Despite being just 10 minutes away from Tower Bridge, most people pass by this gem unaware, perfect for those who enjoy cosy corners, ideal for intimate conversations. There are even alcoved seating areas with curtains! The pub has been open since the late 18th century, and received a refurbishment in 2022 when the new landlord took ownership. Enjoy locally brewed beers, as well as carefully chosen wine and spirits. If you’re hungry take a look at the gastro menu that will be sure to entice everyone. Ranging from beef lindström, chuck steak, to beetroot and caper patty, the menu will be hard to resist.
