The Angel

Situated directly on the banks of the Thames, this pub offers unrivaled river views with iconic backdrops including Tower Bridge and The Shard. Immediately captivating with its enticing waterside ambiance, the venue transitions seamlessly from a serene riverside retreat during daylight to a bustling social hub as the sun sets. Its interior whispers Edwardian charm while offering cozy upstairs seating, accentuated by an eye-catching, panoramic window showcasing the splendid cityscape. On tap, you'll find a selection of flavorful Yorkshire brews such as Samuel Smith's Pure Brewed Organic Lager and a modest bottle range that includes fine choices like Oatmeal Stout, notable for its velvety blend. Dining is a balance between classic pub fares like fish and chips, and the commendable Sunday roast, lavishly served with tender cuts of beef, lamb, and chicken. Despite contending with some less favorable accounts of service delays, especially during peak times, the staff are often noted for both warmth and approachability, making the pub not only a portal to scenic charm but also a lively point for community gatherings and charity events.
