About Pommelers Rest
Simple, carpeted Wetherspoon pub in a former hotel, serving meal deals and a selection of real ales.
Popular pub occupying a prominent corner site on the southern approach to Tower Bridge. The pub's name is taken from the term for someone who pummels leather, a reference to the surrounding area's historical links to the leather trade. The interior is divided into two large rooms on several levels, with contemporary art and photographs of the River Thames in bygone days adorning the walls. Up to nine real ales are usually available together with two ciders (albeit ones not conforming to CAMRA's definition of real cider) through 12 handpumps in 2 banks, each of 6.

Nice pub! Not that busy, which I thought was unusual seeing as it's 100 metres from Tower Bridge, a major tourist magnet! Drinks were cold, and the food was good. The waiter launched my plate of grub as he brought it over to the table, but he got us a fresh plate of food in under 15 minutes.

The first pub that I have been to in the U.K with comparable food prices to Perth Western Australia Pubs. Amazing food, fast service,huge beers and great sit-in atmosphere. I had the ultimate burger today, very tasty and it was pulling a gherkin Rolling Stones look 😄 Thankyou all......

I always had the fantasy of trying a real English pub in England. Last time I came here it wasn’t too good, but this place was amazing! The chicken tikka massala was juicy with a nice texture and amazingly flavorful sauce! The “bangers” were good as well and matched perfectly with a large pint. Refill hot chocolate warmed my soul after a day exploring London and the tower bridge just a couple of blocks from there. The only reason why this place have 4 stars is because the first server was a little bit rude when we just entered, probably because we are foreigners. But after that we just change…

A nice little Wetherspoons not far from Tower Bridge. Not over crowded or saddled with obvious regulars, the place is a mix of office types, tourists and mature (young and less young) folks meeting up. Service is fast, food spot on and staff is responsive and look like they want to be there. Have gone back a few times and would go back again!

The online ordering was down due to having sold out of some things. Wonderful menu selection. Fish was great and so was the garlic cheese bread. Came with 9 people and had no problem getting a couple of tables. Service was fast, food was delicious and we had a wonderful time here.
