The Oyster Shed is a riverside pub and dining venue at 1 Angel Lane in the City of London. Its position on the north bank of the Thames provides views toward the Tower of London and the Shard, with a bright dining room, terrace and garden making the most of the setting.
Seafood is a natural focus for the seasonal menu, with oysters, fish and shellfish represented across starters, mains and sharing choices. The kitchen also serves meat and vegetable dishes, allowing mixed groups to dine without everyone choosing from the sea.
The venue works particularly well for business lunches, relaxed dinners and private events. Several bookable spaces support meetings, receptions and celebrations, while the riverside garden offers a more informal option in suitable weather.
Wine, cask ale, beer and seasonal cocktails accompany the food. Service runs every day, with shorter hours on Sunday, and advance booking is useful for groups or popular outdoor periods. Guests with allergies should discuss shellfish, fish, gluten and cross contact with staff before ordering.
Address: 1 Angel Lane, London EC4R 3AB, England
