First time in here a couple of weeks back - didn't sit outside as I'd already caught my fair share of rays elsewhere but I'd definitely like to give the beer garden a go sometime and watch the goings-on on the river. It felt like a nice, cosy pub with a good local following. On the ale front, I tried the Sharp's Doom Bar and it was spot on. Will definitely be back, hopefully when it's sunny!

I had the pleasure of visiting this place this Sunday early evening supping a pint of Cornish ale (Sharps Doombar) in the garden over looking the Thames a lovely place, please transform me back there.

The Town of Ramsgate is by far the best pub in Wapping. Run by the friendly Janet & Peter, you are assured a great time. Monday night is quiz night, so expect the pub to be full. Tuesday is steak night. Home made food in the Ramsgate is brilliant, with a great Sunday Roast and amazingly huge steak and ale pie. Board games are available behind the bar, and dogs are more then welcome.

Every week a new guest ale is introduced to the Ramsgate, ensuring you can always try something new.

There is a small beer garden out the back, but it's nothing to get excited about.

Prices are reasonable, atmosphere friendly and great selection of drinks. A must visit.

In the way of ales, they had some of the usual suspects on – Pride, Young’s Bitter, Adnam’s Bitter – but the guest ale was the excellent Butcombe Bitter, and very good it tasted too. This is a long thin pub leading down to the river at Wapping Old Stairs. It has a long history – Judge Jeffries etc – and it claims to be the oldest pub on the river. But I believe that the Prospect of Whitby just down the road also makes that claim. It’s an improvable claim I suspect, like so many such claims involving London pubs.

Nevertheless, this is a real pub although it inevitably gets a number of tourists in. No problem with that, as it seems to have retained its essential character. It’s comfortably furnished with normal tables and chairs; no one-armed bandits; and no overly loud music. I quite like this pub; I’ve been several times before, and no doubt will visit again.

Another little riverside pub that once must have been full of lightermen and warehouse workers but now is full of local office people and some locals, though the locals probably go more to the Old Star and the Cuckoo. More interesting beer than the Prospect of Whitby and probably friendlier too.
