Riverside Restaurant Retreats

A sunset view from The Ship’s outdoor area – Ariane V

There’s nothing better than sitting in the sunshine with a cold drink in hand, a hot meal on the table, surrounded by friends, and watching the boats pass by on the Thames. So this week, we’re putting on our sunglasses and heading to the riverside!

The Dove 46 reviews Hammersmith  19 Upper Mall, London  Pubs “Set right on the river, this is my favourite spot for an evening beer in the summer... The inside is very cozy and the patio at the back is as close to the river you will get in any pub this side of London.”  Chris V., London

The Ship 47 reviews Wandsworth  41 Jews Row, London  British Restaurants, Pubs “It is right across the river from Fulham and sits along the water, which is of course quite scenic... the vibe is utterly sensational... The outdoor area also features a BBQ grill, and they have a menu offering burgers, sausages, and a few other items.”  Lisa C., London

The Mayflower 46 reviews Bermondsey  117 Rotherhithe Street, London  Pubs “It can feel a little disconcerting looking down and seeing water, but it's very atmospheric. We ended up having a very nice evening and are looking forward to trying it out in the summer when we can take in the view.”  Sarah F., London

White Swan 16 reviews Twickenham  Riverside, Twickenham, London  Pubs, British Restaurants “The patio seating area is next to a little beachy spot at low tide and can become a little island at high tide! ... A beautiful spot to sit and watch the boats go by on a summer's day.”  Laura Kate S., London

The Oyster Shed 11 reviews The City  1 Angel Lane, London  Gastro Pubs “The Oyster Shed is in a fantastic location, just up the river from London Bridge, on the north bank of the Thames... a modern airy feel, with fantastic views of the river and the Shard on the opposite bank.”  Matt B., London
