Last night, we got a Thames Clipper from Westminster to Greenwich (review of the Old Brewery to follow) and had the opportunity to answer more-or-less definitively a question we posed a few weeks ago (http://boakandbailey.com/2010/03/10/go-west/): are there any riverside pubs on the north side of the river between the Dove in Hammersmith and the Town of Ramsgate in Wapping?

Pub expert Ewan (http://pubology.wordpress.com/) correctly identified the Banker at Cannon Street, a Fuller’s pub nestled under the rail bridge, which looked worth a visit.

But there’s (arguably) one even before that — a bar/restaurant called the Samuel Pepys (http://www.thesamuelpepys.co.uk/menus.html) has a tiny balcony with tables and chairs hanging over the water. We don’t know to what extent you could call it a pub, but there were people drinking in the sunlight, so we think it probably just about meets the criteria.

We wonder if they know of their claim to fame?
