The pub is found in Charlton, Greater London, SE7 7SS.
The Anchor & Hope is Charlton’s only surviving riverside pub, a former Charrington's house, and is usually described as having been present here on the Thames bank since the 16th century. It was re-built in its present form in 1899 and is a striking building, dominated by a turret and cupola. It was, however, substantially rebuilt after World War II, following damage when the glass works behind the pub was hit by a V1 Flying Bomb. At one time the landlady (a Mrs Sergeant) would apparently only serve those customers she liked the look of; these days there is a welcome to all. There are two bars, the smaller of which is sometimes reserved for dining and has a splendid collection of photos of working boats of the Thames. Outside is a riverside patio drinking area with extensive views. 2 handpumps.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 2 different beers and tried both.
