Closed

Dating back to 1520 in Wapping, the Prospect of Whitby claims to be London's oldest Thames-side pub, steeped in maritime heritage and pirate lore. Visitors can enjoy wood-paneled dining spaces and outdoor terraces offering river views, alongside its infamous replica hangman's gallows overlooking the water.

Commenters show strong enthusiasm for the pub's rich heritage, pirate aesthetic, and charming cobblestone surroundings, often placing it high on their travel bucket lists. While general sentiment is favorable toward its historic ambiance, occasional critiques mention elevated prices and tourist crowd appeal.

  • Check Thames tide times in advance if planning to explore near the riverbank.
  • Wear comfortable footwear suitable for walking on cobblestones and rocky terrain.
  • Grab a seat on the outdoor terrace for prime river views and a look at the gallows.
  • Expect slightly higher menu pricing given its status as an iconic London pub.
