About Anchor & Hope
Classic English pub with outside tables by the Thames offering a familiar range of food & drink.
A former Charrington's pub hidden away behind the Sainsbury's depot at Charlton but on the Thames Path, the Anchor & Hope is a traditional riverside pub. There is a paved area to the front with views of the Thames between the O2 and the flood barrier. A main L-shaped bar, that includes an open floor space for dancing, is complemented by a small room to the right furnished with smart black tables and chairs. There is a good display of nautical artefacts on the walls here. Can get very busy on Charlton Athletic FC home match days as it is very welcoming to away fans. 2 handpumps.

Always lively down here on a summer day. Can sit by the river. Pub is the best in the area. Classic old pub look inside, reasonable selection on tap. Got TV for sports, jukebox too. Sitting outside in the beer garden by the river is best though.

The Sunday roast at Anchor & Hope is great. We’ve had it a few times, and it’s always spot on. The lamb roast, in particular, is delicious. The pub itself has a relaxed vibe, with river views and a nice outdoor terrace.

Nice location and decent ambiance, but the food is skippable. When the sun is shining or even at sunset the location by the river is great for a quick pint or a sit down with friends. The pint selection is limited but popular choices like Moretti, Guinness are available even the Beavertown Neck Oil (which had sadly run out).

Such a find! Stumbled across this gem in June 24 and it was packed, outside street food was amazing and entertainment was great. Returned in September and the Roast did not disappoint one of the best roasts in a long time. The chef was so lovely too he came out to check on us. Top service!

Only called in after the match for a quick pint. £7 for 1 pint of Hazy Dazy! Very slow service. The thing that makes this pub worth a visit are the views from the beer garden slap bang on the Thames. Other than that it's pretty average
