General agreement in Wapping that the Kidd has the best riverside views of all the pubs here and a large beer garden with cheap beer to enjoy it in. Great pictures from the summer on What's in Wapping website http://www.whatsinwapping.co.uk/captain-kidd-pub-12012011/ The food situation isn't as good as it was and the Gallows restaurant is missed. But if you don't go there expecting a 5* meal it has a lot to offer ...

A pub in a great position. Sam Smith's tends to divide people and I fall on the side of - it's almost a nice pint. The pub almost looks old, the clientele almost look like locals. It's almost a great pub but not quite.

One of the most successful warehouse conversion around. Worth going just to see the David Dickinson looky-likey who props up the bar on a Saturday afternoon. Spooky.

Lovely pub this. I went recently (Feb 2010) and the bar food is still horrible, but there's a nice atmosphere in here. Nicely decorated as well, and great outdoor area I imagine in the summer.
