A unique riverside pub in the City
Discover a hidden gem in the heart of the City at The Samuel Pepys, a remarkable pub on the Thames. Located on the north bank, this 19th-century former Thameside tea warehouse was transformed into a pub in the 1970s. Since then, it’s been offering unparalleled views of the river to local punters and visitors alike!
The impressive loft-style bar and restaurant maintain their historical charm with wooden floorboards, full-height windows, and exposed brickwork, while modern artwork and lighting enhance the ambience. Experience the best of both worlds – a perfect blend of tradition and modernity set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Thames.
