The Mayflower

If you’re partial to crackling fires and Shakespearian energy when you have a drink, head to The Mayflower. The ancient Rotherhithe pub is named after the Mayflower ship that set off from here to Cape Cod back in 1620. Given its location on the Thames and its history, it’s a boozer that’s as loved by Londoners as it is by visiting tourists. Its outdoor deck is a killer spot to get a drink while looking out onto the Thames' lapping waters.
