Sad to see the demise of so many of these establishments which, like many other interesting places in London, have been submerged under progress.

GA, great review and pics of those venerable pubs still standing near the Thames. I love the lists of monarchs gracing the sign for the Prospect of Whitby. All good stuff…

I don’t think he would have been very impressed.

And a member of my Denton family kept yet another pub on Wapping High Street, now demolished. I feel I’ve missed out by not visiting these pubs by the Thames.

Luckily the light railway isn’t far from the last pub so i hadn’t too far to lurch to wend my way home. Highly recommend it. (You don’t HAVE to imbibe but it’s fun to act the Dickensian wastrel once in a while)
