The Ship in City of London, Westminster

Una de nuestras comidas favoritas en Londres. ¡El pastel de pollo y champiñones es para morir! Nos encantó todo aquí y nos gustaría volver.

Really great atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. Special call out to Shay behind the bar, really friendly and helpful.

Cute pub with wonderful customer service! Shay was a pleasure and provided a great beer selection!

Slow service but still a nice vibe

Visiting from Texas. Bartender Shay was super friendly and gave us suggestions for further things to do with our night. Good vibe, good seating pockets all over. Would come back again.

First day in London, we happened to walk by here and decided to stop in for a drink before dinner. Shay is amazing! Super helpful and informative, all around great personality

Brilliant pub, Shay was super friendly

Visiting from New York and the service from Shay was the best I experienced throughout my entire trip!

Great service from Shay! Thank you

Shay was great. Great food and drinks.

Great service from Shay, excellent tucked away pub, strong beer selection!

A firm favourite and close to home. Good wine selection too.

matthew was a fantastic bartender! very attentive and helpful

Mathew was a great bartender! Love this place

Great for a quick drink in the financial quarter

Estuvimos allí el 4 de abril de 2025 alrededor de las 2 de la tarde y los camareros eran muy amables. La cerveza estaba fría y el ambiente era genial, Mientras nos sentábamos dentro, el clima era hermoso, así que las mesas y los asientos afuera le dieron al bar más espacio. Ya que está escondido en la calle, es agradable sentarse afuera cuando es agradable. Los bocadillos de chile servidos como bocadillos de bar eran increíbles. Incluso pedimos algunos para ir y fueron lo suficientemente amables para envolverlos para nosotros. ¡Ojalá pudieras ordenarlos a los Estados Unidos!

Shay was amazing great customer service !

Excellent friendly pub. Great atmosphere and staff consistently excellent

Cute little pub nestled in the city, set back from the busy streets. Great service! Will come again x

Myself husband and son came to London for the day and wanted a proper old fashion pup meal which we had here. Soon as we walked in we loved it. Sophie was amazing and so welcoming. The food was incredible hat off to the chef. We will be back for sure.

Excellent and friendly staff, great vibe!

stupendous service from our great server patrick barry evans, he was talkative and wonderful. deserves a pay rise. great lad

Many thanks for the attention received Fully recommend

Excellent Service. Shay was amazing and friendly. Forgave us for a large order of Guinness. If you want friendly service, and a fun evening, head to the ship.

Extremely good pint of Guinness,and I’m very very hard to please 👍👍👍👍👍

Great salad. Got the nourishment w/ smoked salmon.

What a cracking little find in the city set back from all the hustle and bustle in Talbot passage. Good range of beer. I can see myself returning to here from time to time.

The Ship service was fast and friendly! Made good recommendations for food and beer

Lovely place proper vibes would definitely recommend

Friendly staff (Reece was a legend) and great vibes. Lovely little pub and a must visit.

Great atmosphere, friendly people :) highly recommend!

Beautiful old pub, love the details on the ceiling. Very warm lively atmosphere.

Loved Shay and Patrick, such great service they were lovely and really made our experience!!

Reeci was lovely, friendly and welcoming. We had a great and fun time there.

Very good place, very friendly staff, will come back definitely! Reece was super friendly and welcoming

Food was lovely , served by the kind and happy veneta

Best pub, outstanding service, 10/10 would go every Thursday.

Shay is great and a great pub to visit after work!

Shay was an absolute delight! Service was great and the pub is fab.

Shay gave amazing customer service love him so much

reese was an amazing bartender i highly recommend the ship

Solo un funcionario Conocí amigos en el bar así que nos unimos a ellos como tú. Dos grupos a nuestro lado a cada lado. Nos dijeron que no nos servirían ya que había una cola que no era evidente cuando llegamos. Miró hacia atrás y se había formado una gran cola hasta la puerta. La licitación del bar nos habló entonces de la cola y no nos sirvió. Él procedió a servir a los que estaban a nuestro lado, pero continuó por la cola que no estaba allí cuando llegamos. No me sirvieron tan a la izquierda Mala gestión. Un miembro del personal un sábado con el rugby puesto. No es bueno. Fui a otro pub. Sirvió inmediatamente.

What’s not to like about one of the oldest pubs in London. Good food and drink.

Phenomenal food and drinks! Esther is a sweetheart.

Atmosphere was great. So was service. Shay was great so was Esther.

Served by Shay top man great service

Love the interior, atmosphere, great staff!

Difícil tomar una copa viendo como todos los chicos estaban en la esquina viendo algo, afortunadamente una joven me sirvió, pero todo el trato dejó un mal presentimiento conmigo. En realidad sentía lástima por la pobre chica parada sola. Ni siquiera terminé mi bebida, me fui.

A somewhat hidden pub, but worth the detour. I recommend the magpies. The service, great. Available and smiling.

To be honest not a bad little city pub but I have to question the uplift in price from £18.00 to £23.65 for a pie. £18.00 being the advertised price and £23.65 being the total price including broccoli (£3.50) and a 10% discretionary service charge. I did ask the staff at the time but I couldn't be bothered to argue the point.

Always good vibes. Shay was lovely!!

Awesome little pub just away from the Hustle bustle of London but close enough to be convenient for a quick pint. The seating was nice as you could sit outside and watch people go bye and also admire the buildings there's a contrast of new and old all around you. The pub also has a lot of history. the average price of a pint is about £6.50 so very reasonable for London

Reece was an absolute gentleman, give this man a raise and a promotion! I will be coming back!

Great atmosphere and very friendly service from Sheay. Rustic vibes!

Such great service, thanks shay!

Authentic pub, not touristy, great food

Good beer friendly staff highly recommend

Really amazing service from Shay. Nothing was too much for him. Very kind individual. Shay was slay.

Food was amazing! Shay was very kind!

Reece recommended and made us good cocktails, and they were delicious!!

Recce very good service , very chill place , we pass by came in for a beer and we just stayed for a couple more drinks

Reece was very helpful with recommending drinks for me

We had a great time at the ship! The barman Reece is fab and knows how to host. Would come back.

Lovely atmosphere with really friendly staff. Reece was amazing

Lovely safe place to drink. Great wine selection!

Our 1st visit for a relaxing 🍸 drinks

Cool place. Glad we went in after we saw it down the "alley" Will go back if I am in LHR again

Nice PUB for a afternoon pint. I recommend the Britsh pie.

Booked in December for Feb, great little pub tucked down an alley. Kitchen closes at 4pm so pre ordered and was ready for our arrival time.

Now this is what I’m talking about. The service is 100/10 and food was amazing too. I’m not really sure but his name started with L and we happen to be served by him which made the experience 10x better. These guys know how to do their job. End off

The place is great and prav is excellent

Reece was lovely :) 10/10 customer service

Great atmosphere, great beer, great service, Reece is also great 😊

Great service, great beer, Reece is also great 🍻

Reece is just the best!! What a friendly service in London after a day in the office

Amazing service and great crisps

perfect 10, Reece is a great barman.

Fantástico pub, escondido, pero vale la pena buscar! Todo el personal es amable y atento. Se ocupa a la hora del almuerzo y por la noche, el ambiente es el de una reunión de amigos, aunque no los conozcas. La comida es muy buena, el restaurante de arriba es pequeño, acogedor e íntimo también. Bien vale la pena una visita, desearía que fuera mi local! No puedo esperar a volver.

Everyone who worked on Friday night was wonderful especially Patrick, Mathew and Pravh. Great pour from Pat as well

Lovely pub lovely service from Katie 🙂

Easy to miss, but a lucky glance down Talbot Court drew me in. A good selection of ales, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Unfortunately I only had time for a cheeky pint.

Our last day in London and the best pup here! Very friendly! Best english tradetional food!

great place, love having a friday night catch up with my friends here!

Great pub with great friendly staff! Would 100% recommend!

Brilliant service from Shay, would highly recommend

Brilliant pub, brilliant service

Brilliant pub, lovely staff, great range of drinks, Sean was such a welcoming host and always had a smile on his face, vania poured me a brilliant pint!

A hidden, unexpected and super pleasant corner very close to the Sky Garden building. Returning from visiting this place by chance we saw an alley (Talbot Court) and in the background some gentlemen in suits drinking pints of beer (it was a Friday). Former tavern The Talbot was razed during the Great Fire of London of 1666 and was later reopened under the name The Ship in honor of the sailors who helped rebuild that area of ​​London and eventually drank in that tavern.

Nice English Pub, food served upstairs, we just stayed downstairs for a few drinks. Real ale good. Small outdoor seating area

Dropped into the Ship as a nostalgic venture having last been there in 2009. Thanks to the gentleman who took a photo of our mini reunion. Best wishes and many thanks to the staff.

Nice stuff, cold beer;) Planing to come back to eat some

Great City pub. Good Guinness. Excellent service from Sophie. Will definitely return

Sensational spot - highly recommend. Always great service.

I had an amazing time at the ship. The staff and management were exceptional. I highly recommend to try this place!

Enjoyed my time here, nice vibe and bartenders were polite and helpful. Thank you too Reece also he was very friendly.

I had a great time at The Ship, me and a few friends had an excellent meal and a drink afterwards. Staff are always kind and was very patient with my friend that wasn’t sure what he wanted to order. I will definitely return in the future.

Loveeee reece best service ever

Reece is a lovely bartender, thanks hun!

Retirement bash. Food (buffet) was excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff.
