The Old Thameside in Southwark

Excellent hospitality by leony , amazing food and experience

Staff were very nice and doing their best but the food was terrible, they were hugely over capacity and it took 2hrs to get our mains out. I complained and was given a £20 voucher but I won't be going here ever again

For a touristy part of town this pub still has great character, good selection of beers, and a helluva view of the river

The best location in London but the people that work here are rude and unreasonable

Second time I have gone to this place, haven't been disappointed either time with the food. Great food at a reasonable prize with a nice ambience inside and lovely view outside.

Ellis was fantastic, amazing service and a lovely meal

Great atmosphere right on the Thames. We sat inside & had a nice meal with a friendly service. Thank you.

Good food, prime location on the Thames. Ideal from 6pm when most tourists are gone! Photo with this post: Sunday roast, chicken.

Great service and my absolute favorite pub. Thanks Ellis

Lovely decorations for Christmas - a very cosy spot. Our server, Lakshmi, was great!

This place is excactly as described. We sat by the window with a perfect view on the Thames and the city. This old english freehouse proposed an excellent fullwarming pie and delightfull fish and ships. And of course good beers. The staff was so nice and joking with us. I fully recommand if you want to experience the warmth of an english pub.

A great riverside location, good beer selection, quick service and a good view when the sun goes down

We can highly recommend the “British Steak & Nicholson’s Pale Ale Pie”. Thank you Lakshmi for the great service.

God food and atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent

Ellis was so helpful finding me a meal with my gluten, dairy and soy allergy! Checked into everything so I felt safe eating here - awesome service :)

My favourite pub in London! Great food, great views of the city

First time visiting this pub. I had always had this idea that this pub was dark and never visited it before. But it completely changed my mind after the visit. It is nice and welcoming, the staff is nice and it's very clean. It didn't have loud music and even if the tables are a little cramped, it didn't feel like it we were seating on top of eachother. We only had a few drinks and a great chat. But I noticed that there is a section where you can have a meal in peace. And the food looked and smelled great. They have tables outside, but with this weather the review on them will have to wait a little while longer. See you next time for an update.

Very nice place with a view on St Paul’s Cathedral and the City. The staff is very lovely and the atmosphere of the place as well. It was fully decorated for Christmas! Recommend 😊

We had a disappointing experience at this chain pub. 🐌❌ The service was super slow, and the prices were way too high. 💸 The nachos we ordered were stale and unappetizing. 🤢 We ended up leaving and going somewhere else for our main course.

Lucky, amazing waiter. Very nice pub

Loads of draughts of tap and great to watch the rugby and a great view of the river Thames

Abhi was excellent, very polite, professional, and helpful.

Very nice to have a pint by the Thames.

Fab position. Mulled cider was delicious.

Was a great service food is Amat and fast our server Abhi was great and helpful

Excellent service! Thank you Ellis for the great service 👍

Wonderful staff Always made welcome nothing is ever too much Have been visiting most weeks for at least 10 years Wonderful pub in the Borough

Fantastic little pub I've been going here for the last 8 years. Gorgeous food, which (is always filling) at a reasonable price. Some drinks are on the pricey end, which is a shame as I only have 1, maybe 2 drinks there. But overall, it was a lovely pub. I would definitely recommend it, with a beautiful view of the river Thames.

Friendly staff who are quick to serve and very welcoming. Great views across the river. The food was good, classic pub fare.

Love coming here for a pint after a long walk ,enjoy the view

Stopped in here after a trip to the market. Had a few beers. Very stylish space and the surrounding area has so much to see.

The place is really cosy and the staff, especially Alex the manager was extremly nice, helpful and friendly and made sure we had a great time. I will definitely come back.

One of my favourite London pubs- stunning view, good service and loads of seating indoor, outdoor and tented

We had a nice meal for a reasonable price. They looked after us. A special thank you to our host Christos. It was a good "shelter" from the bad weather. We visited for the first time and no doubt we will visit again.

We visited here with our children for a day out and I can't possibly fault the service we received the staff where amazing the food was awesome it was quick everyone had a great time. we had brought our dog along for the day they accomodated a table outside because we didnt realise we couldn't bring him inside with us there wasn't anything that was too much for the staff here . what a day we had thank you for making it that little bit more special . Massive thanks to Olympia leoni and Tony impeccable service to these guys and the entirety of your team see you again soon xx

I am a frequent visitor to this place. There is a lovely young Australian girl, Emily, who works in the restaurant area and she is fabulous for looking after us. This visit we tried the new Rabbit pie option which was a nice surprise. It was a Friday lunchtime so all tables were busy but I love it.

Booked a table for lunch with my family and from the start until we left service was great and made sure everything was alright. Bit pricey but totally worth it for the location

Big and busy pub right by the river Thames and golden hind in borough market. Good selection of ales and fast service. Would definitely come back

Situated in a great location on the south bank of The Thames. Bar staff weren’t very friendly or welcoming, hence only 3 stars

An okay experience. We just ordered a soft drink only

I love this pub, it always has a wonderful lively atmosphere, right by the River Thames and of course it is never easy to get a table outside because it's a very popular spot. Plenty of seating inside and outside, good meals and great service (everyone working very hard to meet customer's needs and expectations). Considering location and the amenities I think it is very reasonably priced, will certainly come back again and recommend to anyone! ☆☆☆☆☆

i went in the pub attempting to enjoy my night. While sitting down i was being intently watched by a very rude women, who in fact was a member of staff. Not only was i with my parents but i was also with my friends and i felt very scared and alone. This experience did not only scar me but left me with fear to enter any pub ever again. I would definitely not recommend this terrible place and would say go to the Anchor, a 2 minute walk down the Thames. This has left me not only scared to enter a pub again but also left me depressed and singled out from my family and friends.

Met a few friends and sat outside. Great atmosphere!

Waiting over 45 minutes for pub food just does not seem right. I like Nicholson's pubs but I wouldn't come back to this particular one! Also once the food has been served it was not even hot.

A great pub, always reliable. Drinks are quick, even when busy. Excellent view too.

Amended from an earlier review that somehow was left via Google assistant. Had drinks here and it was a nice atmosphere right on the edge of the river. Staff friendly, not too busy.

It was very nice to have a beer outside right on the Thames.

Very tasty food, lovely location and friendly staff.

Wonderful outdoor balcony seating made up for the average fish pie. The food tasted slightly better than it looks. If you can get a seat outside it’s worth a pint!

Good position on the Thames, big inside, with plenty of outdoor space. Staff are just trying to serve as many people as possible so no real interaction just pour and pay not even a smile…. Very very expensive . £24.18 for 3 pints. Go elsewhere if you want a proper pub experience

Typical pub but nice views from either patio outside or tables inside.

Highly recommended, good atmosphere, very good service, fine food

Nice pub. Chain, so quite standard.

Amazing view, great options for drinks and food. Slightly overpriced however but the view makes it all worth it

Good vibes. On the Thames. Cosy. London prices.

One of London's classic pubs. Good typical food and good ale.

Just incredibly expensive food but to be expected by the location. Other than that really good service

Went there with family for food and drinks. Good service, very flavourful food and drinks always coming fast. Definitely recommend. Will come back for sure !

Excellent service, great food. I recommend it for sure.

Very nice service, I really enjoy the food, good view

Came across by accident but lovely pub right next to the Themes near Borough Market

The pub is located right next to the river bank and feels relaxing if you're planning to have a pint and enjoy the view of the river.

I had the best chicken burger I think I have ever had here, although it might have been a mix between the outside seating overlooking the Thames and the amazing London architecture, the people around having a great time and the food. The only thing that was disappointing was they rang the bell for last orders and then told us 5 minutes we needed to drink up. Maybe someone forgot to ring the bell for last orders.

Excellent food, excellent service and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Male waiter in blue shirt dark hair with a bad attitude . Very curt.

Spent a lovely weekend summer afternoon here with a friend on the terrace. There was table service which was brilliant, friendly staff. Drinks were good, chips were nice but we didn't have a big meal so can't comment on food.

Popped in for a drink - nice golden ale , has a good room downstairs for football

By the river, cozy,relaxing atmosphere outstanding service and delicious food.

Nice place, drinks a little expensive for what it is but worth the view over the Thames, didn't have food but what came to other tables looked very nice, recommended.

The staff were excellent throughout the time we were there. They were attentive polite and made the experience much better.

I think the food is ok! It just the manager or the owner is just a bit rude. Sorry I brought a drink from borough markt and he shout out me and told me to get out! I explained to him and said im so sorry I am pregnant and I just brought a healthy fresh juice. And he just said ok but you can’t come in with that drink. Out! (With a bit loud voice!) I felt so embarrassed because there’s another customer there. I think first my mistake to brought a juice but he can tell me with politeness. “Ma’am I’m sorry as per policy of our restaurant you are not allowed to bring a drinks here.” We are foreigner of His country. And maybe we don’t understand some policy. So please treat your customer with some respect.

Lovely place for a drink, with The Golden Hind in dry dock, and overlooking the Thames, good for a night out. Up on Clink Street, a short walk from London Bridge station, the only downside is the London prices. I was only drinking, so I can't comment on the food. A bonus was a nice selection of dark ales, the Tribute was lovely.

Saturday lunch with the family. I like this pub very much and have always enjoyed a drink or a bite to eat. Today though it was very disappointing - the food is expensive so one would expect a corresponding quality but the dish I had, a fish and scampi combo (£21.50), had uncleaned scampi tails with the intestinal tract still in the food under the batter on all scampi pieces... Absolutely unacceptable for this price. So disappointing.

I deal location every good venue to meet friends Excellent choice of beers and drinks . Didn't have food but all looked fine

Very nice riverside pub. They let us sit for dinner at 9pm with an 11 year old girl after they had refused us at the nearby The Anchor pub despite the reservation because the little girl couldn't stay after 9pm. Excellent food and very friendly staff

Excellent food and great atmosphere on the bank of the Thames

A Nicholson's pub, which means a pretty good range of beers, with the advantage of being beside the river. You can sit outside and watch the river traffic going by

Good atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Had a business meeting with a colleague lunchtime and this place has great view and it’s nice and quiet for meetings. Need to mention the sandwiches very tasty as well, would definitely be back for a pint by the river

The Old Thameside Inn in London! This charming pub nestled along the banks of the River Thames truly captures the essence of traditional British hospitality. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent selection of drinks make it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. I highly recommend stopping by for a pint or two and soaking in the historic riverside ambiance. Try the fish'n'chips.

The barman was very arrogant! He was surprised that I didn't want to pay £35 for a bottle of wine and I wasn't even eating there!!

Great old pub with a lot of flair and a nice view at London's sky line; drinks have regular reasonable prices; I did not eat anything; I did not have to wait and there were a few seats left; you can sit inside and outside

Were looking for a pub by the river with view and ended up at the old Thameside where I was impressed of how speedy the service was very good job. Prices were quite reasonable and the food delicious

Speedy service and excellent food Thank you for a pleasant visit.

Visited old Thameside for dinner last night and the food was delicious and the service very attending and helpful as I am allergic to gluten and they made sure everything is ok and safe which I really appreciate it! Definitely recommend this place!

Relaxed atmosphere. Good service. Food good

Did celebrate my birthday couple of months ago at the old Thameside as I’ve been visited this place for years as we work nearby and can tell had my best birthday evening, we did enjoy the drinks by the river with the nice view and the service fantastic by the team Thameside. Would definitely recommend!

A really lovely pub. Great views of the river and set in a really nice area. Nice and relaxing. A great place to meet friends and just watch the world go by.

"Tasty" but bland food with drinks 🍸 served by friendly & helpful staff like Ellis & Ellie in cosy, clean & beautiful surroundings next to the River Thames.

Came to the Old Thameside Inn for a drink. Was a lovely atmosphere. Amazing staff, welcoming and polite. Will be coming back for food next time ❤️

Best views and awesome choice of food and drinks

Nice place for a beer. Was very packed. Beer was good and food was nice. The atmosphere is old bar feel. But by the river was nice.

Very busy for Sunday and food shows why. Worth the short wait for food however a waitress was quiet rude and gave alot of attitude for an unknown reason. Throwing a red hot plate into my hands and storming off was unnecessary and I'd wonder if it was something I had done if it wasn't for her giving the same ammount of attitude to other tabels. Hope she's just having a bad day but my hand didn't need to pay for her misery.

Good place for a quick drink, enjoyed it quite a lot, pricey but not bad for London! Easy to reach.

Great place for a drink after work, although I was on holidays it was packed with people finishing work. Great spot. Service was excellent and the place although packed is super clean!

Would recommend this pub to everyone. Such a welcoming atmosphere from the workers at the pub. Such an easy and quick way to have table service outside when it’s busy. Loved the overlook view of the Thames. Will be coming back!!

Overall, great tourist spot on the river. Over looks london bridge and some of the sky scrapers. For Americans: You have to seat yourself, get a table number, secure your seat, go to the bar and order food with your table number.

What a place for food & drinks! Gorgeous views by the riverside and the staff are very lovely and welcoming. I will be returning.

Nice drinks and location, great service (loved the dried orange on my Campari)

Does what it says on the tin. Good Thames views.
