Perched along the Thames' edge since 1520, The Prospect of Whitby pub brims with roguish charm and salty tales. London's oldest riverside watering hole once lured smugglers, pirates, and cutthroats to its rare pewter bar and rugged flagstone floors. Though the reprobates are gone, the tavern's spirit endures.

Behind the timbered facade, cozy nooks and priceless river views transport you to the days when diarist Samuel Pepys sipped here. Later, famed artists Turner and Whistler captured the Thames' timeless majesty from Prospect's terrace and gardens. And who knows what schemes were hatched in its shadowy corners centuries ago?

Now under Greene King's wing, this historic pub continues making memories between the ale-flowing bar and peaceful balcony overlooking the water. The menu boasts hearty pub fare to fuel riverside wanderings. With its unparalleled legacy and lively character, it's no wonder The Prospect of Whitby still draws crowds.

So come admire the Thames' glory as countless luminaries have before, pint in hand. Breathe in the salty air, gaze at passing boats, and contemplate the waves of history that have rolled through these walls. Old or new, The Prospect of Whitby welcomes all seeking riverside respite and a glimpse of London's adventurous past.
