The Founders Arms is a modern Young's pub on the south side of the river very close to Blackfriars bridge, offering the usual Young's range of drinks and pretty decent food. It has a large terrace with seats and tables by the river, there are no major roads nearby and there's a nice view of the dome of St. Paul's (rising above the squalid mass of buildings on the north bank, that is the Mermaid Theatre complex), so it's a quiet, relaxing spot for a little R&R. The Blackfriars station rebuild, currently in progress, has reduced the clientele somewhat as there's no longer a direct cut-though from Waterloo, which means it's often quieter than most other pubs in these parts. If you're looking for a handy place to meet, or need to rest your feet and feed the body (after a feeding one's mind at the Tate), you'll find the Founders Arms should fit the bill nicely.

overpriced. i asked for diet cokes and was given 2 large ones and charged £11.85 for those and a bottle of bulmers. i hate being taken advantage of and didn't realize what had happened until too late.

I really enjoy this pub, highly recommended, the view is great and relaxing, the addition of the coffee bar is good idea. I will be back soon!

How to find the Founders Arms pub

Go south over Blackfriars Bridge on the down river (left) side. Once over the river, go down the first steps you come to, down to the Thames walkway and walk under the railway arches (to the right). It's just beyond there. From Southwark turn left and head up Blackfriars Road go up the approach and almost on to the bridge. Then go down the steps as before.
