#1

 

6.00pm - 7.00pm

 

Moby Dick
6 Russell Court East, Greenland Dock, London SE16 7PL

It has nice relaxing views over Greenland Dock, at least 4 different ales, and does decent pub food at decent prices.


 

From the Moby Dick, turn left and follow the footpath along the dock toward the boats. Turn right at the end and then right again on the other side of the dock.

 

 

The Wibbly Wobbly pub/boat.

 

 

The floating outside section, reached through the boat itself.

 

 

The inside.

An article, scanned by Noel, about Malcolm Hardee and his tenure of this boat is here:

#2

 

7.10pm - 8.10pm


Wibbly Wobbly
Greenland Dock, off Rope St, London SE16 7SZ

The star of the show tonight - a boat pub. The gentle rocking might have been too much for some people late on, I thought, so it was put at the beginning of the crawl instead.
A few of the pub crawlers were so enchanted with this place that they stayed here, eschewing the rest of the crawl!


 

En route to the Ship & Whale on the night of the crawl itself.

 

 

 

#3

 

8.15pm - 8.45pm


Ship & Whale
Gulliver Street, London SE16 7LT

Smart, relaxed venue with a popular beer garden.


 

 

#4

 

8.55pm - 9.25pm

 


The Clipper
562 Rotherhithe Street, London SE16 5EX

Has live music most Friday nights. The research visit night featured a modern Amy Winehouse influenced singer of some talent but unfortunately on the crawl itself, they were only showing the football (England did win 5-0 however).


 

 

#5

 

9.40pm - 10.15pm


Pizza Lounge
346-352 Rotherhithe Street, London SE16 5EF

Very much an upmarket pub catering for the recent influx of city types around these parts. Its garden is almost completely covered with wooden decking.


 

#6

 

10.30pm - closing


Old Salt Quay
163 Rotherhithe St, London SE16 5QU

Large and noisy pub on the riverbank. It's selling point is the garden, which is basically the river's edge, with great views of the city, and provides a quieter area than the inside.
