The Blacksmith's Arms is a fine local that has served this area very well over the years. It hasn't been affected too much by the influx of people filling the many developments in the surrounding area in recent times, although the pub has edged a little more upmarket. This Tudorbethan pub has a nice oak-panelled, 1930s interior, that hasn't been messed about with too much, simply spruced up, giving it a clubby, comfortable air. It's pretty relaxed during the week, though it does end up picking up refugees from the nearby Hilton; it does get busier at the weekend, although it can be pretty much a local affair. There's a good range of well-kept Fuller's ales on offer on the hand pumps, with a pretty reasonable wine-list, for those who aren't into pints. And, all that's accompanied by an extensive Thai menu and some traditional pub grub.

How to find the Blacksmith's Arms pub

It's a bit out of the way, so it's best to use a map - it's not far from the Hilton Hotel and the easiest (and most pleasant) route is the walk along the river from Rotherhithe. Surrey Quays: leave the station and head down Redriff Road, walk for about 10 minutes or so and you'll get to the junction with Rotherhithe Street on the right, turn down Rotherhithe Street and follow it round for a while until you see the pub on your right. Rotherhithe: leave tube turn left and head to the river, follow the road around for about 15 minutes and you'll come to it just before the Hilton Hotel, on your left.
