    If there's a better pub around the area I haven't found it. It's a Young's pub so you get the usual, but the treat is really sitting outside (heaters provided) by the river and people watch

    Super close to the Tate Modern and just on the river, it's a lovely post-Art drink spot. They also have boxes of blankets to keep you warm outside! Cute.

    Large and very busy pub by the river. Lovely to sit outside though and admire St Pauls and the London skyline

    Can't beat the views, awesome service and delicious food! Try barley risotto if it's on offer and don't forget raspberry mess for dessert!

    Pure joy, lovely staff, good beer, great food! (Fisherman platter is a banger, but they have gone a little off with the bangers recently, so find out what they are before ordering)

    Amazing view, good prices. For those who like less hoppy beers can try neck oil (terrible name, awesome beer:))

    Great location on the river, with a beautiful large terrace. Gets quite busy on sunny days after work. Make sure to stock on drinks before it gets too crowded!

    Despite the name, this is a Young's pub, not Founders, so expect standard brews not craft beer. However, it's a decent pub with good food and a great view to enjoy while you're dining.

    A bar on the banks of the River Thames, with incredible views to various sights. The price, service and ambience within the standard London standard.

    Great place to hang in the sun, outdoor seating with a great view of the rivers, city, and bridge. Food didn't blow me away but was good enough.

    Great atmosphere next to the lake. If it is warm, you can sit outside and enjoy your drink while watching the lake and bridge.

    Filled with tourists at peak times, get there at 12:30 to guarantee a table for lunch. Large outside area for when the sun shines.

    Bar with a good selection of drinks and a fantastic outdoor view. You can take your drinks outside and sit by the river.

    Fish & chips. Battered fish was a tad plain. Green pea mash had a nice minty aftertaste

    Amazing Fish and Chips, do it so with a cold Guinness you won't regret it.

    Great during the summer, by the river and great London beers. But it's by the river which makes it really busy.
