The Shipwrights Arms is a historic traditional English pub is known for its welcoming atmosphere, rich history, and charming character, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. Situated near London Bridge and the bustling Borough Market, the Shipwrights Arms offers a convenient and cozy retreat from the busy streets of London. The pub's name and nautical theme pay homage to the area's maritime heritage, particularly the shipbuilding industry that once thrived along the River Thames. The interior of the Shipwrights Arms features classic pub decor with wooden furnishings…

The Wooly used to be my local when I worked in Bermondsey 2004-6. It was cool back then now it's beyond popular. I was on a day off work and I explored Dalston and Shoreditch High St but the pints in The Wooly were the most expensive by a mile. I still loved the vibe though! My pint of craft beer cost £7.75 but I loved the trip down memory lane. Sadly my fellow drinkers were either still in primary school or not even born when I was a Wooly regular. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did...

It is a very nice decorated pub, where we met the nicest staff. Good selection of beer and other drinks. The building outside is stunning and inside okay but not the nicest. Unfortunately the toilets have mold otherwise okay.

Love this pub! Always a great after work drink! Good price and friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere. The pub is right next to London Bridge train station which is notorious for delayed trains to Brighton so always a good shout for a delayed train quick drink. Today there was an incident with a drunk individual, who was causing issues and refused to leave, the bouncers handled the situation so well. I have never seen a situation diffused so well and so calmly. Amazing work from the staff for acting so professionally in such a difficult situation. Even more amazing no atmosphere was lost…

Upon entry, one Friday evening I really needed to use the restroom (was that time of the month) I was denied entry by a security man, his exact words were “The bar is over there” and pointed to the bar. I then said I just want to use the restroom, he said no. Even though a previous time someone I know was allowed to do so.
