Independent pub · London
The Mayflower in Rotherhithe describes itself as the oldest pub on the River Thames. CAMRA rates its interior as of very special national historic interest, with much of a 1957 refurbishment surviving in the main bar and front snug. Six handpumps serve five changing ales plus the house beer, Scurvy. The local CAMRA branch named it its district pub of the year for 2024, 2025 and 2026. There is an outside decked jetty over the river and an open fire, and at low tide the original 1620 mooring point of the Pilgrim Fathers' ship can be spotted. Dogs are allowed downstairs and outside, and a pub quiz runs on Tuesdays.
