The Ferry House in Tower Hamlets

When me and my partner went into the Ferry house amy was fantastic with service and really welcoming

Lovely, small old fashioned pub. Just what you want at the end of your road. Service was good, atmosphere was pleasant.

My favourite pub, end of. Love coming here and having a chat with Jamie. It’s old school charm and a friendly service that makes you want to come back time and time again.

Great place, very friendly staff and really nice vibe. They pay great attention to detail when pouring drinks.

Lovely local, dog friendly which makes for a lovely atomosphere. One ale on, but nice, can't remember the name. Will defo be back.

Můj nejoblíbenější PUB v Londýně. Objevil jsem náhodou loni a teď jsem se moc rád vrátil.

Nice traditional old school east London, Isle of dogs public house that hasn't been changed by gentrification like so many pubs on the Isle of dogs

Lovely traditional pub. Prices reasonable.

Found this pub last year when I was walking the Thames path. Even though I live in Ealing, if I'm ever that side of London, I always try to pop in for a drink. While Greenwich and Canary Wharf are heaving and busy, a quick walk under the Thames tunnel or a strolll down the isle of dogs and you get to this gem of a good old British boozer. As a northerner who loves a good pub, I can say this is a dying breed. So few free houses which haven't been modified are left. Like most free houses - it's normal prices. Not 7 quid a pint like a Fuller's or Greene king pubs. A pint of Guinness here is 4.60! Living in Ealing I'm used to this due to all the independent Irish pubs. But it's rare to find prices like these in London nowadays. It's a truly a gem of a pub. I had a mate in town this weekend and was showing him around London and these photos were taken around 12noon on a Sunday. By 1 it starts filling with the Isle of Dogs locals. You will meet some wonderful London characters in here. 5th Generation Isle of dogs Londoners some of them. They are a dying breed like the pub they inhabit. If you want to experience a real old friendly British pub with incredible interior, fab locals, cheap prices and great beer, try The Ferry. Amazing history too. I love the place.

Obnoxious staff, takes your drink away when you are not looking

Lovely staff working in there. Nice little establishment with cozy rooms. Prices aren't too bad either.

A propper East End back street local. Two casks ales from the Brockley Brewery on cask.

I am a resident and it is one of my favourite local pubs. Nice people, nice beer garden

OK independent pub, nice library, nice garden, decent prices.

Love the guys Great atmosphere amazing boozer Proper piece from an old London now gone xo

Delicious food served in unpretentious restaurant.

No frills authentic pub with history. No food. Good beer and ambience.

Nice atmosphere, people there are friendly! Got nice beers, good service, TVs and the decoration looks nice!

Nice relaxing time ,after a nice walk along the Thames. Very nice pub.

Lots of locals talking sport. Inside interior could do with a spring clean but friendly enough pub.

Loved the Sunday roast. But the Yorkshire pudding was a little too burnt

Good beer choice, lovely bartender

Pop in today, a very nice pub. Very dog friendly. I would recommend a visit

Thank you to the kind bartenders who gave a tired runner a pint of water in the middle of a hot day! 🌞

This pub is situated near the river and it is its USP. The beer garden is lovely and the pub itself has got of lot of history behind this.

Its my favourite place in London. The people are nice. And I met my best friends here.

Great pub close to Island Gardens DLR. Very friendly pub with a great pint. Cosy fire, highly recommended. Great beer garden for the summer months too.

Seemed like a locals pub when we walked in..... and everyone could not have been nicer. Shhhh, keep it quiet, what an unspoilt little gem

This pub is a gem, in a world of over priced "Gastro Pubs". No food just great local draught ales at fantastic prices. Friendly and inviting just how pubs should be. Long may it prosper. If you are doing the Thames path around the Island, do be sure to call in, you won't regret it.

Nice place, people are friendly, atmosphere is good, great little garden out back too.

Proper back street pub, the kind that people lament doesn't exist any mkre.

Live locally and have to put up with fights and shouting outside regularly throughout the week. Never complain because it’s a local business but I arrived in the pub at 11:20pm and am told it’s last call but when I go to order the young bar man tells me “only people in before 11 can get a drink”. I used to enjoy this place but I would recommend not wasting your time on this once nice and local pub as it has gone to the dogs.

I was there in april 2022 and I like it there :-)

A great traditional pub - deceptively large and welcoming to all. Has not been 'made-over' thankfully.

This pub is underrated. Very very reasonably priced drinks especially in E14. Friendly crowd. Plenty of room inclusing outdoor space. And it's one of the few old pubs on the island still standing.

Real ale available and beer garden quiet

Lovely little pub, sat here just after opening on a Saturday. Not too busy and very reasonably priced for a London pub

This is a great pub with a great atmosphere and a super helpful Landlady who ensures her customers are well looked after. Would definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again. 10/10

Small, with decent outside space. An average 'local' IoD boozer.

Proper old style pub just south of Docklands Central. Nice pint of Brickley Brewery Spring I.P.A. for £ 4 result.

Very friendly staff in this "oldest pub on the island".

For fourty days and fourty nights I walked the deserts with nary a drop to drink. The sun burnt me skin and the wind ripped me hair and I the meself to die. And then, up from the earth rose a blessed megalithic site: The Ferry House Pub. Salvation.

Very good place with fair prices and good customer services. Higly recommended to visit.

That's the cosy pub at the corner of my street. I love it.

Lovely venue with great atmosphere and well priced drinks for London. It felt very local but also welcoming. Would definitely return if close by again.

Pub has gone downhill. In a area with a lot of people with affluent jobs and disposable income there needs to be some kind of hot food for customers. There was lovely Indian food being served for a few years and then all of a sudden reheated Pie & Mash was being sold. The Sundays Roasts were nothing special compared to the other pubs (George, Watermans Arms & The Gun) in the area but they charged more money. Went there a few days back and there was 3 people in the pub in the evening. Totally dead with no atmosphere. Hope new owners come in and change everything. The Pub is just being run down.

Had a great evening in the pub. Reasonably priced drinks and super friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit

Really lovely traditional pub and, as it boldly boasts, the oldest pub on the Isle of Dogs (not to be confused with Limehouse!). I love the history of these places - there has been a ferry to Greenwich from the site of the pub since the 1300s (probably a shelter serving refreshments to waiting passengers), with the first mention of the name ‘Ferry House’ from about 1740. I’m sure these pubs along the Thames attracted some rogues over the years. Nowadays the clientele are a little more gentile and the staff are very friendly. A good selection of well-kept ales (£4 for a nice pint of Brockley is very reasonable) and the garden is a sun trap. Go seek this lovely pub out!

Amazing staff and a wonderful atmosphere definitely would return to this wonderful pub

I am glad this pub is still going. I remember my father dropping my grandfather off outside this pub in 1960’s. I also remember the night I spent in there with my grandfather in 1979 with a load of dockers some who had been made redundant. I have recently visited this pub with my own sons one who now lives in the area. The pub has changed and adapted extremely well to the new environment of the Island Gardens, but most of all the it is a proper London pub a land mark on the Isle of Dogs.

Cute little pub, friendly atmosphere

Love the mulled wine, the garden area is massive and the pub cat is lovely. Staff are kind and amazing. Very much loved it

Went here as part of a works Christmas party. the pub is beautiful and the staff are really welcoming. They lit the fire for us in the side room. Its also got a great beer garden. I strongly recommend you try it!

Spotted in The Ferry House- Jack O’Connell. Love this dog friendly pub- made some new friends and whiled away the hours drinking decent pints for good prices. Would encourage a visit and a return and a return…. Etc

Lovely pub loads history freadly bar staff

So inconsiderate to neighbours, music is far to loud for an area where family’s live and also there Sunday roast is vile. I wouldn’t even give 1 star!

Very relaxed and a vintage, homelike atmosphere. Place is tidy and nicely decorated. Prices are great as well. Recommended!

Super friendly. Tidy, well kept pub with a decent beer garden including eclectic ornaments. Photo is an old KLM gin bottle in the shape of a house. They used to give them to first class passengers. Maybe they still do.

Amazing little pub, super friendly staff will to help our every needs. Am only travelling through but i was made right at home and will definitely come again if we get the chance.

Gorgeous pub. Cosy interior. Beer garden is huge. Super clean. A real hidden gem.

Nice local pub with a great outdoor seating area

great pub experience still. cosy good service.

Fabulous little gem of a pub very traditional 😀

Had a nice time wasn't that busy but it was early afternoon but all the same the atmosphere was nice and saw a very old friend in there.

Liked it - friendly staff food nice.

The oldest pub on the Isle of Dogs just discovered recently & been in the area so long 🤦🏽‍♀️ Different zones to be seated near the bar, in the reading zone, or out on the terrace. Definitely will return. Highly recommend. Plenty of breezes, lots of open windows. Quirky decor and 17th-century grade listed building. Variety of Gin, Rum & Whisky & couple of drafts beer. They do serve food as well. Reasonable price. Good customer service. Pay as you order. Staff wearing face masks. The area was clean.

Very nice cozy place to enjoy with friends. Nice beer garden. They don't have food available but you can order takeaway which is nice. :)

A lovely old fashioned boozer on the Island - friendly landlady and a peaceful outdoor area at the rear.

Beer garden was amazing, great atmosphere, lovely view and very cosy. The server was great, they made sure we're having a great time. Great selection of drinks and food but needs more desert options on the menu.

Consistently very good. Best pub food in the area Friendly staff, great service.

Lovely beer garden on a hot sunny day!

Welcoming pub. Friendly staff great beer. Comfortable. Just lovely!!!

Amazing burgers, great people, and lovely outdoor space.

Já jsem tu byl poprvé je to tu hezké

Decent pub, but isn't as good as it used to be.

Really good sunday roast! And really good customer service!

Very nice little pub. Staff and regulars has been only friendly to me and my family. Keep it going guys, you rock. Update: 28Feb2020: the best homemade lasagna in the town!

Good pub nice gin selection Sunday roast was good, but need more desert options. If you like history this place is for you as its been there since 1722

És un PUB una mica cutre per ser el més antic de la zona. El cambré una mica extrany. Poder va ser el dia i l'hora en la que vaig anar.

Love this bar, nice outdoor space. Lisa, the manager is brilliant!

Nice little local pub. Very friendly service.

Atmospheric old pub with locals with many stories of the history of the ferry

Good beer and a relaxed atmosphere

Quick service, good prices and a nice outdoor seating area at the back

Good food, friendly staff, good value.

Pub ogólnie bardzo miły, ciężko nazwać go przytulnym jednakże ma swoją atmosferę i stałych bywalców. Na dole mamy pub na górze zaś możemy znaleźć King of Punjabi - restauracje z ponoć niezłym jadłem ale tego jeszcze nie wiem. Pub czynny jest długo wieczorem dla miłośników piany czy dobrego trunku wiadomość to doskonała.

Very "local" and all the better for it. Wished I could afford to live in this area.

One of the most traditional pubs in London. Never a dull moment 🙂

Love this pub. Best staff, awesome location, amazing history. Come get a chilled pint, you'll love it!!!

Bad service and with a menu that doesn’t leave you with a lot of options

Perfect place to avoid, customer service awful,the food was horrendous and the owner was rude. Won't come back even if they pay me.

Nice local pub, friendly people, huge beer garden

Fine old fashioned pub on the southern tip of the Isle of Dogs. (On our visit) no hot food, but will knock up a sandwich if asked, there is a curry house upstairs, but this opens at 5pm.There is a single draught beer from the Brockley Brewery, a Camden keg and a draught cider plus usual suspects. The present pub dates from c1722 and its predecessor is mentioned by Pepys. Worth a visit.

Quirky place. Indian restaurant upstairs.

Lovely old pub, great service and friendly bar staff

Great atmospheric pub. King of Punjab does tasty food. Deserves to do well.

Great little pub and friendly staff and chatty punters

great place to eat real authentic Asian cuisine

The king of Punjab is a true , authentic, North Indian restaurant which is a step above any restaurant in East London !

Very quaint and great locals..drinks expensive.
