The Anchor pub in London 2026, worth the trip?
The Anchor is fine but honestly the food is average pub grub, I'd eat at Borough Market first then walk down. Go on a weekday afternoon, weekends the riverside terrace is rammed with tourists.
Agree, but check the tide times first.
Ask for the balcony table, first come first served.
yeah weekday afternoon is the move, but avoid 5-7pm cos the city crowd piles in off London Bridge. if u do eat there the fish and chips is the only thing worth ordering, rest is forgettable
Timing matters more than day of week there tbh, check the tide tables before u commit. At high tide the water's right up against the terrace wall and it's a completely different vibe. Low tide you get the mudlarks out which is half the fun.
Spring tides are the ones to watch, they swing furthest either way so you get the full contrast. Mudlarks mostly show on the really low ones, and a neap high tide barely clears the wall. Tide Timings or the Port of London app has it to the minute.
Opposite the pub there's a small beach at low tide, best spot to catch the mudlarks properly.
honestly the Borough Market plan works but walk down via Clink Street, nicer than the main road
Upstairs balcony, low tide, pint of Doom Bar.
Blanc Restaurant in 2026: still worth booking?
honestly i'd skip the tasting menu and just do a la carte at the bar, better value and u still get the room.
bar menu's cheaper before 7 too
worth knowing the pre-7 discount only applies at the bar counter, not the tables, so u cant sit down and get it
yeah the bar seats go fast after 6:30 though so turn up early or u end up standing
Agree, but check the bar menu changes daily so the a la carte value depends on which night u go.
good point on the daily changes. wednesdays are usually the weaker night if u ask me, fish-heavy and a bit samey. thurs to sat is when the bar menu's actually worth the trip.
tasting menu's the only way to get a table past 8
True, but the bar menu's smaller after 9
a la carte beats the set menu every time
Only if you're at the counter by 6.
