Captain Kidd

“Really cosy pub with the usual great beers on tap and great views of London.”

Spacious but rudimentary interior succeeds in straddling the past and present without over-pandering to the obvious historical associations. Enviable historical riverside frontage with unimpeded views. A well equipped drinks spectrum unlikely to disappoint. Similarly the menu not lacking in invention nor variety. Staff convivial and efficient, Hard to find fault here.

A Wapping classic, right on the river and very popular for drinks and food. Great fish and chips, nice Sunday roast, Sam Smiths pub. A large outdoor terrace area with nice river views, a cosy old bar and restaurant area with booths and tables. A nice place for Sunday lunch, or drinks in the evening. Lots of history in the pub and the atmosphere is great.

Jane Bailey★★★★★

A sunny evening calls for a drink by the river. Everyone else knows this so when we first arrived all outside tables were busy. Sat inside for a drink, with the windows open there was a lovely breeze. Kept an eye on outside and moved. Some food options had sold out but plenty of others available. Chips were a highlight, crispy and fluffy. Service at bar good. Nice customer mix with tourists enjoying the views. Always a reliable spot.

The Captain Kidd in Wapping is one of those riverside gems with soul. In spring, summer, autumn, or winter, it has its own vibe vibrant or peaceful, depending on the season. It’s the perfect spot to soak up history, the river, and a proper atmosphere all at once.
