The Mayflower is a historic English pub beside the Thames in Rotherhithe. Its name commemorates the ship that carried the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620, and the original local mooring point can be seen at low tide. Cobbled streets and the surrounding maritime history reinforce the pub’s strong connection to this part of London.
Inside, open fires, traditional furnishings and a candlelit restaurant create a cosy atmosphere, while the outdoor jetty offers broad views along the river. Guests can visit the ground floor pub for drinks and informal dining or reserve the upstairs restaurant for a longer meal. The upper dining room can also accommodate private gatherings and celebrations.
The kitchen serves classic British dishes prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients. Fish and chips is a longstanding favourite, accompanied by pies, Sunday roasts and daily chef specials that respond to the season. The menu is designed to suit both local regulars and visitors seeking a traditional pub meal beside the Thames.
Traditional ales, craft beers, local gins and thoughtfully selected wines complete the experience. Weekly quizzes and candlelit Sunday evenings add character to the regular programme, while the riverside setting remains appealing throughout the year. The Mayflower combines food, drink and a remarkable sense of place in one of Rotherhithe’s most distinctive venues.
Address: 117 Rotherhithe Street, Rotherhithe, London SE16 4NF, United Kingdom
