The Ship in City of London, Westminster

Great spot to have a drink and hang out or sit down for a meal.

Excellent friendly pub. Great atmosphere and staff consistently excellent

This place is hard to find as it's hidden

My favorite pub. Lovely location. Food is great and friendly service

Great pub in the city with lively atmosphere! Paid 7.40 for a lager, for reference :)

Great friendly staff and service, but the food was awful, just really awful....barely warm, definately not hot, 3 item dinner 1 part of it was missing🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️how hard can it be to serve people what they order from the actual printed menu, 3 items to a meal choice and they leave one off🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️???? food was barely edible, chef needs to check his job description and learn how to cook properly and ask himself was each dinner as it should be? Is it the best he could do?, would he eat what he served? And if it was his own restaurant would he serve it then? If yes then he is in the wrong job....who gave him the ok to cook at college, or wherever he got qualified? Just really really awful food wise. Be warned....

excellent service and atmosphere!

As a tourist visiting London, we love experiencing local style English pubs and The Ship was a hidden gem snuck between skyscrapers and downtown buildings. Love the ambiance and decor. Bartender recommended Tribute ale as I was looking for something not too hoppy and smooth drinking.

Reece was a great barman thanks

Esther was a great server! Kind, on time, and knew the menu well. Cheers mate!

Lovely little pub tucked away off the main road.Very friendly staff and nice little area outside.Called in spent a pleasant hour there.Would recommend to anyone passing by

No more meals at 7:30 p.m. kitchen closed, Pub only 🍻

amazing service, reece is so sound!!! x

Excellent place to dine and try the famous "fish and chips". With incredible charm, in the middle of skyscrapers but with the intact essence of an English pub. Recommended 100/100.

Riley and jay are the best - they give free drinks

Great place to drink, staff very friendly

Shay was the best bartender ever

The best staff and really nice vibe

Enjoyed a few pints and a couple bites with colleagues after a day at the office. The experience overall was chill but elevated as an American who’s only been to London a couple times. Fair prices, delicious bites, great company, and a beautiful day in London’s financial district. Cheers!

Have such a great time every single time I come here, such a great atmosphere and the wine is excellent!

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.

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

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

Great service from Shay! Thank you

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

Shay was great. Great food and drinks.

Brilliant pub, Shay was super friendly

Mathew was a great bartender! Love this place

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

matthew was a fantastic bartender! very attentive and helpful

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

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 !

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!!

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

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

Shay was an amazing host! Can't wait to keep coming back!!

Food was lovely , served by the kind and happy veneta

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

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

reese was an amazing bartender i highly recommend the ship

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

Shay gave amazing customer service love him so much

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.

Phenomenal food and drinks! Esther is a sweetheart.

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

Served by Shay top man great service

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

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 was very helpful with recommending drinks for me

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

Lovely safe place to drink. Great wine selection!

Lovely atmosphere with really friendly staff. Reece was amazing

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

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 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.

Great service, great beer, Reece is also great 🍻

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

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.

Reece was lovely :) 10/10 customer service

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 🙂
