Amazing atmosphere, great view, wonderful staff and one of the best Sunday roasts in London! Well worth a visit and great spot to enjoy glass of wine outside on the terrace when the sun is out 😄
WaterstonesMay 10, 2013Once Guinness world record holder for smallest bar in England, also a favourite of Graham Green and Ernest Hemingway - the latter as famed for his notorious drinking abilities as his literary prowess.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 27, 2015Perfect pub, small bit not too much. Lovely terrace at back, take the stairs to get the tables at the top and look over the river.
Time Out LondonMarch 26, 2012The pub is divided into four areas: a riverside garden/terrace, a lounge bar, a gorgeous conservatory area, and the tiny front bar, which merits an entry in Guinness World Records.
Ana LaraAugust 11, 2015Cute cozy pub with tons of history behind and even a world record Guinness! Perfect for a sunny afternoon on their terrace to enjoy views of the river.- Nicole MezzasalmaAugust 7, 2020Lovely riverside pub. Get a terrace table if possible to soak in the sun and river breeze!
- An amazing old pub with lots of history, the smallest bar in England, plenty space to sit inside or out, and good quality food. Always busy and vibrant.
TKDMay 19, 2017Ancient Pub by the Thames. Perfect spot for a lazy summer afternoon. Far away from the tourist crowd, a beautiful little spot to spend your time.- RebekkaMay 20, 2013A great little pub with an amazing little terrace on the Thames, fun staff and Live Irish music every Monday :) My best find in Hammersmith so far.
Awesome place, nice food, nice view... They even give you sunscreen and sunglasses for the sunny days of summer. Don't forget to check the "smallest pub"
Martin JonassonMarch 17, 2019An amazing pub with great atmosphere, food, service and beers. Proper English.
Ross CookMarch 27, 2012Great location overlooking the river (South-facing so lots of sun). Amazing food (better than an average pub) and a good selection of Fuller's beer (best beer in the world!)
Enrica PisanuJune 28, 2015Sunday roast ripoff 2 slices of lamb, watery gravy and no seasoning... A part from this lovely pub atmosphere and location
Kate SAugust 13, 2013Beautiful old pub by the river with great views from the secluded beer garden. Great food and interesting range of beers including lager from Hawaii.
Danai MarinouDecember 2, 2013Great cosy place Delicious food but ...their card machines had problems with Natwest cards and I had to walk a lot to find an atm.......
YOUhomeNovember 11, 2014Cosy, riverside pub with traditional food. A little further West than we'd like, but it's too gorgeous to miss.
Priya TungrusAugust 31, 2016Love this small pub. Great outdoor seating overlooking the river and great food!
Victoria HooperOctober 3, 2016Sitting out on the patio on a summers evening is the dream! Great food too
Armelle De OliveiraSeptember 22, 2022Cute authentic pub. Had a couple of veggie options. The terrace tends to be (over)crowded.
- Ben RobraJune 5, 2016Great little pub. Tucked away in an alley. With seating next to the river. Decent ale selection.
MEL BROWN STUDIOSAugust 24, 2014Wonderful place. Great for a good Sunday lunch. Or just a nice relaxing drink.
LondonistSeptember 26, 2010Good pub. Yes, very good pub. But head a few doors west to see the place where the Victorian Internet (AKA the telegraph) was invented, and William Morris lived.
cosmicsupervoidNovember 18, 2023Room right at the entry is how it was back in the days — the smallest pub in London
Luciano FioreJanuary 28, 2013Hemingway used to go there. The area around it doesn't look like what you would expect from Hammersmith. A nice place by the Thames
Le Grand NoirFebruary 28, 2013Really great pub that cares enough to serve fever tree tonic. Great bloody maries
col mcJune 9, 2011This is not disabled friendly. The landlord claims that they have a licence preventing anyone with ANY restricted mobility from going anywhere other than being on the small floor by the door!
Joseph DentJuly 10, 2013Has a nice terrace overlooking the river. Smallest bar in England. Very snug!
Nigel GlasgowApril 8, 2015Worked here many years ago. Smallest public bar in London if memory serves
HISTORY UKJanuary 17, 2011This cosy riverside pub dates back to the 16th century, and boasts the smallest bar in England – 4 foot 2 inches by 7 foot 10 inches.
Alastair BallAugust 19, 2011Sit on the outside terrace, especially if the weather is nice. Gets crowded so be in early
