Anchor Tap 20A Horselydown Lane, London SE1 2LN

"My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this little pub on our search for a classic pub and it was the perfect find. The barman, Darren, was an absolute delight. The beer, cider, and fish & chips were all delwand quintessentially British. Can't wait to go back and visit again next time we're in town!"

"Now this was the highlight of the day. I can't recommend it enough. A really old fashion pub, it even has a saloon bar and an excellent barman too. I would have happily stayed there much longer than we did. Decent prices, nice atmosphere and nice beers. Looking forward to going back."

"Right next to Tower Bridge. This is no tourist trap. I'll have to guess here cause I'm not sure if it is Gerri or Julie is the boss. What I am sure of, as a one time, long time, resident of London, is that the Anchor Tap is an exceptional pub. I worked in pubs all over the city but this was special. It is a tied house, and that limits your choices on drinks, and has a small menu. But this is more than compensated by the lovely ladies who run the house and barman Mark who we met today. The beer is good, we tried the India and the Pale. The food was proper English pub food. But the real stars are the staff and the centuries old pub. It won't be for everyone. It isn't as polished as many. But if you want to experience what a real London pub is then I can't think of better. Try the varied, traditional, bottled beers. Play pool or darts. But ideally, have a feed, sup some excellent pints and chat to the other customers. No music, no TV, but great craic and fun with locals, tourists, and suits from the local offices. I couldn't recommend it enough."
