Although I have a friend who works in the next building, somehow or other this is the first time I have ever been in here. Not busy on Monday evening and there is even room to sit on the veranda.

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC4V 3PT.

One of only three riverside pubs in the City, but often overlooked given its off-the-beaten-track location. It was established in around 1970 to replace two former pubs (the White Lion and the Kings Head & Lamb) which were demolished as part of the redevelopment of Upper Thames Street. Initially it was something of a theme pub, dedicated to the life of diarist Samuel Pepys with displays and period-costumed staff – today pretty much all of that is gone. It occupies part of the first floor of a brick-built warehouse building and has wide views of the Thames, standing directly across from Shakespeare’s Globe. The customer areas are very spacious, and there is also a small veranda overlooking the river. Has a table football machine. Acquired by Shepherd Neame in summer 2018.

We have visited this pub once, seen 2 different beers and tried 1 of them.
