The Anchor Bankside
Overview
The Anchor on the side of the river Thames was originally built in 1615. Samuel Pepys watched the Great Fire of London from here and Doctor Johnston wrote part of his dictionary!
As a Taylor Walker pub, we are proud to offer freshly prepared British pub food and high quality drinks. With experienced and friendly staff, whether you are a cask ale fan, love a chilled glass of white wine or a freshly ground cup of coffee, we will serve you in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Join us for a classic British dish such as hand battered cod, chips and mushy or garden peas, a juicy rump steak burger and chips or a roast of the day seven days a week. Our pub food is freshly prepared and includes all your favourites. We also offer a range of sandwiches and jacket potatoes, all served by our welcoming and friendly team.
We have many offers to choose from including our unique fish and chip shop inside The Anchor, for either eat in or take away. We also have a private dining room for a maximum of 18 persons in The Shakespeares Room. Our first floor restaurant offers an A La Carte choice, serving traditional British food and our Terrace Bar overlooks St Pauls and the River Thames.

Latest 5 reviews of The Anchor Bankside
Given it's location, this is obviously a touristy pub. Still, it's got some good ambiance and a view that can't be beat if you're sitting outside on a warm afternoon.
The food is entirely average. The burgers aren't bad, but they certainly won't impress your taste buds like a masterful creation from Byron. A weird caveat - when I ordered at the bar they told me it'd take 45 minutes for two...more
The Anchor is, without a doubt, the worst pub in London. Don't bother trying to reserve a table because when you arrive, your area will be occupied, filthy and possibly without chairs. The food is terrible and they don't make it easy to order either. Last night, they were randomly closing bars and directing patrons to other bars to order food. After being redirected twice, we gave up and were...more
The location is excellent and the building itself nice, but that's all. The service is very lousy, the food even worse and the drinks overpriced. No atmosphere, no character. Just a formula pub as any other. I really regret going there. Never again, never.more
I remember this place of old before the Borough was fashionable and before they built the ghastly hotel on the back and the extension by the garden. It was worth a visit then. It isn't any more.
Tolp tip: If you are passing in the mrning and fancy a bacon sandwich walk-on-by they will tell you to have the hotel buffet breakfast which isn't expensive for what it is but £9 is outrageous for...more
Raining and in search of a pub that was not packed on a Friday night, we came to The Anchor. Crap service as the bartender spilled the beer on two people in my group hitting the tap as he lifted it over the counter. No apology. Crap beer as it tasted .... bad. Relatively empty and a dirty bathroom. Find somewhere else.more
