About Ship
Small pub with dark wood bar and booths, and indie/rock music playlist for lively evenings.
First licensed as the Ship in Distress in 1780, the distress lasted for its first 40 years. Now a marvellous Fuller's pub, with beers kept in superb condition. Damaged during World War II, the pub was rebuilt with as many of the original 1895 fittings as possible: etched and leaded glasswork, decorative mirrors and an ornate wooden bar-back. It has an extensive collection of indie music, reflecting the local music industry; and hence the bar can be quite noisy in the evening.
The food offering is (tasty) toasties only.

Always amazing. I love returning to the ship. Their music selection never disappoints. I was surprised that they had a great collection of lo and no alcohol beers available.

Fantastic (as always) Fuller's ales and a great recoed collection, actually put out on speakers in the pub. Remarkable mood.

I visited this place after seeing a show in Leicester square and it was a great find! The staff were great, the DJ was fantastic and the atmosphere was really pleasant / friendly. We were just going in a for a quick pint but stayed for a few as we were really enjoying it. I'd recommend giving this pub a go for a night out 👍

It was a quiet Thursday afternoon, just seemed like a typical old man’s pub, nothing special. Music on a playlist was decent. But at £18.90 for a glass of wine and a single JD and coke, we moved on to a more reasonable and lively establishment.

Fantastic little pub. Limited menu only toasties (grilled chess cheese sandwiches) but pretty decent array of beers and spirits. Walked on in on a layover in London and would definitely recommend going back to if you're in the SOHO area.
