Anchor Bankside - London (Picture Gallery)

Refurbishment of the Anchor Bankside

 This historic pub, is located on the south bank of the Thames. It has several bars, a restaurant and roof terrace, both of which have wonderful views across the Thames to the City, and a large seated area on the riverbank. Our recent refurbishment has added a fish and chip shop and a tea room; the oldest and most atmospheric part of the building with its low beams, exposed brickwork and open fireplaces, has been converted into a tea rooms. Not open to the public, but available for functions, is the beautiful Shakespeare Room, which is clad in mellow 18th century pine panelling. We also created a huge outside seating area where you get a great view of both St Paul's and Tower Bridge.

The Anchor was last rebuilt in 1676 after fire devastated the area. The pub's original structure has been added-to over the centuries, creating a maze of odd little beamed rooms.
