When you look at a map of London<\/a>, it seems as though the Thames is some great dividing line separating the north and south sides of the city. In actuality, the Thames binds London together, creating a focal point around which our most famous attractions gather. Every one of us has had our special moments on or near the Thames, and these experiences give Londoners a sense of shared identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In celebration of that identity, we’re going to run down the best riverside pubs and restaurants in London<\/a> for you to visit in 2019. These fantastic eateries and drinking establishments will all offer a fantastic view of the river and a unique London atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive in and check out London’s 7 best waterside pubs and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This history of The Dove Inn<\/a> in Hammersmith is shrouded in mystery. Nobody knows quite how old it is, but it seems to have simply always been there. Generations of Londoners are familiar with its age-old traditional British interior, its cosy<\/g> fireside tables and stunning views of the river. We recommend visiting in the summertime so you can enjoy its beautiful terrace and views of Hammersmith Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Crabtree Inn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Situated on a quiet street off of Fulham Palace Road, The Crabtree Inn is a spacious pub and restaurant that has one of London’s best terraces within a stone’s throw from the river. It’s the kind of place where you just want to settle in and spend long evenings dining and drinking with close friends. Look out for the outdoor grill and barbeque, which runs in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putney Pies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As well as it’s perfect views of the river and Fulham Palace Gardens, this cosy restaurant and bar<\/a> sports some of the finest English pies in London. Enjoy a beautiful meal upstairs before heading down into the bar for a cocktail on the terrace. Once again, this spot is particularly special in summer when you can watch the rowers out on the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamesis Dock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We mentioned Tamesis Dock<\/a> in our rundown of London’s most unique converted buildings, but we just can’t get enough of this magical music venue and bar. Originally a 1930s Dutch canal barge, Tamesis is now permanently moored in Vauxhall as one of the city’s best drinking holes. The food is basic, but the atmosphere is as memorable as it gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea Containers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sea Containers<\/a> may have the appearance of a high-end restaurant, but its special seafood dishes are delightfully affordable and scrumptious. It’s beautiful, open-plan kitchen and woodfired oven leave you with an impression that is at once modern and rustic, with the added charm of river views. There’s something on the menu for just about everyone, so make sure you don’t miss out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Southbank Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Southbank Center<\/a> might seem like an unusual choice. However, unbeknownst to many, its gallery bars have some of the best views of any establishment along the Thames and Embankment. They also have the benefit of being relatively cheap and quiet – a big selling point when the location is as good as this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Banker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This classic gastropub<\/a> boasts beautiful views of the river and London Bridge in an extremely central and convenient location. The Banker isn’t particularly unique, but its traditional<\/g> menu of British pub staples such as sausage & mash and fish & chips are well supported by some more interesting additions. Try the lamb kofta with tzatziki or the Vietnamese spicy wings for a fresh pub lunch experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
