As visitors to London we decided to make use of the fine warm weather. Deciding on lunch we caught the D3 bus from Bethnal Green to a stop about 70 m's (75 yds) from The Prospect of Whitby. It was quiet when we arrived after midday during our midweek visit. I immediately ordered our lunch whilst taking in the pubs heritage inside and out, whist waiting for lunch, with the couple alongside ordered something similar immediately before us. Their lunch arrived after about 15 minutes and yes we had time to take in the interior upstair and outside, whilst we waited for our lunch and enjoyed out wine and cider. After 30 minutes we quietly asked when lunch would arrive at our table, as the other couple had long finished their lunch. For the pub and heritage views of the pub I thought it was a 5/5, whilst lunch was a 3/5.

Tasty soup and chips but lukewarm! Called in on a Monday lunchtime the place was not very busy. Clearly our soup and chips had been sat on the pass for ten mins or so as it was all tepid. Great atmosphere. Good beer. Shame. Was asked “how’s everything?” Replied “not great - everything’s a bit cold!” Shrug of shoulders!

Very nice old pub to visit after a nice walk around the calm and not busy area that is Wapping. Great views of the Thames and good variety of food and drink on the menu. Unfortunately on of the 11 dishes came out cold, but we were offered a free drink/dessert instead, which was very nice. The other dishes were great. Will definitely visit again!

Nice unique little pub, told the guy on the bar we had a reservation he told us to wait a few minutes for our table and then walked off and served someone else while we were about to order drinks which we felt was a bit rude. All the other staff were incredibly helpful and friendly My partner said his stake and ale pie was lovely, my chips came out cold but was offered to have them remade and our waitress took them off the bill. Not the end of the world and was understandable as the kitchen was incredibly busy. The smoking area outside has a great view

We came here on New Year’s Eve for a drink and ended up staying all afternoon and then moved to the gorgeous dining room for dinner. What an amazing view of the Thames from the dining room. And the view was from every table . Such a relaxing atmosphere. It’s THE perfect way to wile away a day. Very friendly service. A very large and varied drinks selection. Food was delicious. And the location is perfect. Wapping feels like a step back in time and it’s easy to feel like you’re a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of central London. But you’re only a short trip on the train or bus away. We made a reservation for drinks only. We didn’t need to, even on a Sunday which was NYE, there were plenty of available tables. But I am glad that we did as it meant we had a reserved table upstairs.

A great looking pub in a fantastic position, right on the river with lots of history. Food was very average. Chicken Kiev had virtually no garlic butter. Macaroni cheese was stodgy. Pie had a quarter of undercooked cabbage with it. Burger was good. It was very busy but they got our order completely wrong so we ate at completely different times to each other. Shame!

What a find, this is a lovely historic pub . The views over the River Thames were outstanding, the food was traditional British grub , but really well presented and tasted delicious, and was reasonably priced . It's a little bit of a trek to get there from the underground , but very definitely worth it.

After a very wet soggy walk we were welcomed into this wonderful London pub. Despite us being late for our booking, Ivy our host was courteous, attentive and made us feel as though it was a pleasure to be there. Drinks and food were very good and we will be back for another visit hopefully in better weather to admire the fantastic views across the Thames

I visited the prospect of Whitby during the citytrip with my son. If you want to experience how it feels to eat in a pub, the prospect of Whitby is the place to go. Its interior is wonderful and the view over the Thames spectacular. The food was very good and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately my son left his jacket behind. But they were so kind to send it to us in the mail. Our visit to the Prospect of Whitby was really great. Also the walk from London city centre Tower bridge to the Prospect of Whitby is only a short distance and a wonderful walk!

We had a private booking in the second floor to celebrate my birthday and cannot emphasise enough how accommodating and welcoming the staff were. Special thanks to Stefano who helped us get everything set up and coordinated our food pre-order seamlessly. We love this pub for its historic ambience year round and the terrace is lovely for spring/summer. 10/10 would recommend!
