About us
This group is for anyone who likes going to decent pubs and meeting up with other sociable people. We will be visiting some of the best real ale pubs in the London area but you don't have to drink beer!

July 4th ft. The Mayflower
The Ship, 39/47 St. Marychurch Street, London, GB7.00 - The Ship, 39/47 St. Marychurch Street, SE16 4JE
8.00/8.15 - The Mayflower, 117 Rotherhithe Street, SE16 4NF
9.45/10.00 - The Brunel, 47 Swan Road, SE16 4JNAs it's not just any old July 4th, but the 250th, I thought we'd take in a bit of history and pay a visit to where it all began. The Mayflower is named after the ship chartered by the Pilgrim Fathers for their voyage to the New World in 1620. It left from nearby moorings that are apparently still visible at low tide, although the pub itself dates from 1780.
The Mayflower will be the main feature but we'll be starting at The Ship, 39/47 St. Marychurch Street, SE16 4JE - The Ship - which is just a short walk from Rotherhithe station on the London Overground network. Turn right as you leave the station and walk around 200 hundred yards down Brunel Road - past Hatteraick Road and a couple of small side streets - then turn right into Rupack Street and you'll see the pub straight ahead of you.
Rotherhithe is one stop from Canada Water (Jubilee line) or three stops from Whitechapel (Elizabeth line). From Canada Water you want the front of the train and from Whitechapel you want the back of the train. You won't be able to get to Whitechapel using the District or Hammersmith & City lines on this date.
As the travelling will be a bit more challenging than normal for some of us, I have put up slightly earlier starting and finishing times so there's a bit more leeway to get home at the end of the night.
The plan is to move on to The Mayflower, 117 Rotherhithe Street, SE16 4NF - The Mayflower - at around 8.00/8.15 and then The Brunel, 47 Swan Road, SE16 4JN - Home - Star Pubs - at around 9.45/10.00. The Brunel is open until 1am.
All of the pubs have outside areas, so that's where we'll be if the weather's fine.
As ever, we may do things differently on the night. Please take a note of my number - 07761-816862 - so that you can phone me if you can't find us (but no texts or messaging please).
