❤️ A modern dockside boozer.

The Moby Dick is perched on the edge of Greenland Dock in the heart of Rotherhithe. The nearest Tube is Canada Water which is a ten minute walk.
.
This pub was built in the 1980’s as part of the redevelopment of the old timber yards around Greenland Dock. It was the only new pub to be built as part of the redevelopment of the area.
.
This pub is set over two floors with the upstairs bar reserved for busier times and functions. The decor is simple, the main ground floor bar is a semi-circular room with a long curved front wall comprising of a series of floor to ceiling windows. There is modern wood flooring throughout, bare brick walls and columns with ledges to congregate around. The servery is a good size with a solid wood counter. At the front of the pub are plenty of benches which overlook Greenland Dock.

This Fullers pub has a good beer selection including four cask ales. I decided on a pint of Amstel, my pint was great and cost less than six quid. The food menu was traditional pub grub, Fish & Chips costs £17.95.
.
I arrived around 3.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. The pub was fairly busy with the majority of punters enjoying the spring sunshine on the benches by the water. I stayed inside and got talking to a very nice local chap sat at the bar. We were talking as you can imagine about pubs and life in general. He mentioned that he had a tough time with health problems which he has overcome, we both came to the conclusion that life is for living and enjoying yourself whenever you can.

This pub may not be the most aesthetically pleasing boozer you’ll ever visit but the location is fantastic, as it looks out over Greenland Dock. The staff and locals were very friendly and the beer and food not overly priced. The @moby_dickph is well worth a visit as part of a stroll around this historic dock.

A Hidden gem on Greenland dock. Relaxed, by the water & by a green space for the kids
