About The Mayflower
Claiming to be the oldest pub on the Thames, this atmospheric Rotherhithe riverside inn marks where the Mayflower set sail for America in 1620 — all creaking timbers and jetty views.
Wonderfully old and wonky, The Mayflower sits on the Rotherhithe waterfront on the spot where the Pilgrim Fathers' ship moored before its 1620 voyage to America. Wood-panelled and candlelit, it claims to be the oldest pub on the Thames, with a wooden jetty out back where you can nurse a pint over the water and glimpse the original mooring at low tide. Expect classic British dishes, well-kept ales and fine wines in one of London's most storied riverside inns.
