The Ship

The Ship has been supplying fine ales, wines and food to its surrounding residents since 1786 when it was founded as a Thameside Waterman’s Inn.

On the banks of the Thames by Wandsworth Bridge, it would appear at first glance that this is not the most appealing location for one of South West London’s most famous pubs.

This Ship has however turned an odd location to its advantage. Its constant attempts to be noticed above the encroaching chaos have led to it remaining one of the most original and endearing pubs in London.

Managed by Oisin Rogers, The Ship is famous for hearty traditional, freshly cooked food, great wine, fantastic hand pulled beer and a real sense of being entertained in a vibrant place overlooking the river Thames.

Having recently undergone an extensive renovation, we have a host of brilliant new features of which we're very proud. Our outside area has been completely remodeled with a larger bar, much more space and cosy, sheltered seating booths. We've also extended the restaurant, built two brand new private dining rooms and acquired more toilets. Whether you're new to the Ship or one of our many staunch supporters, we hope you’ll love the changes we've made.
