So is it the Cobden? Or the PoW? Or London Bridge somewhere for Moggy?
(London Bridge is well easy for most people cos of it being on the superfast Jubilee Line ) |

Prospect of Whitby Wapping. Two stops north from Canada Water on the East London Line (not worth sitting down, it's just the trip under the river is all) and 5 minutes walk max from the tube station.
Walking distance from London Bridge - poss 30 mins. Walk to Tower Bridge, cross over, then basically follow the river |

| Quote: | Excerpts taken from the booklet "Prospect of Whitby"
'HISTORY ALONG LONDON'S RIVER' and reproduced with thanks to:
'THE PROSPECT OF WHITBY'
A national monument
Originally built in 1520, during the reign of King Henry Vlll th, this timber framed country house surrounded by gardens and fringed with marshland, became a tavern, an ideal meeting place for river thieves and smugglers.
It became locally known as the 'Devil's tavern', in those days the Thames was a wider and wilder river, and Wapping Wall formed the only barrier to flooding, which was then a potential threat along the River.
From the 16th Century, shipping in and out of London increased as trade with the rest of the World grew. Ships from abroad had to berth mid-stream and were dependent upon flat-bottomed lighters piloted by lightermen to transport the goods from ship to shore.
This encouraged pilfering and other nefarious activities, and the location of the 'Devil's tavern' was an ideal meeting place for the thieves and smugglers to hatch many a plan and deal, they were the life-blood of Wapping's shady economy, and not many were left untouched by it.
In 1777 the landlord renamed the tavern 'Prospect of Whitby' after a collier called 'The Prospect', a square rigged vessel with three masts, weighing 373 tons, built and registered in Whitby, North Yorkshire, regularly moored outside the tavern it became a local landmark, the tavern often being referred to as 'the one by the 'Prospect of Whitby'.
Samuel Johnson, 18th Century English lexicographer, critic and conversationalist, recommended to his listeners that they explore Wapping to see 'such modes of life as few could imagine'.
Henry Mayhew, an early 19th Century social observer captured the nature of the area when he wrote:
"The open streets themselves have all more or less a maritime character. Every other shop is either stocked with gear for either ship or for the sailor. The windows of one house are filled with quadrants and bright brass segments, chronometers, and huge mariners compasses, with their cards trembling with the motion of the cabs and wagons passing in the street. Then comes the sailors cheap shoe market, rejoicing in the sign of 'Jack tar and his Mother'...then comes sailmakers, their windows stowed with ropes and lines smelling with tar. All the grocers are provision-merchants, and exhibit in their windows the cases of meat and biscuits; and every article is warranted to keep in any climate. The people alone would tell you that you were in the maritime district of London. Now you meet a satin-waistcoated mate, or a black sailor with his large fur cap, or else a Custom-House officer in his brass-buttoned jacket"
Samuel Pepys, who was a frequent visitor to the 'Prospect of Whitby', wrote in his diary, 1660-1669, about disturbances caused by sailors in the Wapping area, during the reign of King Charles 2nd as many Royal Navy men lived there. |
Tis mostly full of locals but occasionally tourist coaches turn up That's generally in the summer though

RThe PoW is the world's most famous and venerable public house. For centuries, the English have been a major naval power - and ever since 1543, this was the pub where all the sailors, and brigands and smugglers and river thieves came to when they stepped ashore. Judge Jeffreys used to drink here! (hence the noose).
pity mine host is a bit of a tit tho |
