Very small pub, but nice if you fancy a game of pool or darts. Most nights I've been in its been empty though, which is a shame, except for when the hockey crowd come in, when it can get quite busy.

Lovely large pub with excellent views over the river. Not a great fan of Sam Smiths drinks myself, but the lager is passable. The landlord has a great memory for faces! Well worth a visit if you're in Wapping.

re: Malvinos' comment - I was in the Ramsgate that night, and your group was drunk, boorish and loud. Other customers were walking out while you fooled around trying to light each other's breath - even some of the people you knew disowned your group. The Kidd is welcome to you.
About the TOR, this is my local and it's an excellent pub. The ale is well kept, with a guest ale that varies, showcasing beers from around the country. Always-stocked beers are Fullers London Pride, Youngs, and Sharps Doombar. I'm a lager drinker myself, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad pint in the TOR. The food is good solid pub food - everything from sandwiches to homecooked pies, fish and chips, and a steak night on a Tuesday. Quiz night (8.30 Monday nights) is good fun and if you play regularly you will find yourself winning money! Nice friendly atmosphere with staff and customers who will chat to you and make you feel welcome, I wandered in here with a book 4 years ago and got adopted by some regulars, and I've never left!
Definitely the best pub in Wapping!

Slightly hostile atmosphere at times in this pub, as I don't drink there regularly. I suspect it would be warmer if I did. The landlady is nice and keeps order (which I suspect she has cause to do at times). Elvis impersonators and I once went to karaoke there, though I don't know if they do that anymore. Shame about the decor - the blue makes me think of a public toilet.
